Citizen & HammerSoul
Hey HammerSoul, have you ever thought about turning reclaimed timber into community benches that double as living art? I’d love to mix sustainable city planning with your grain‑obsessed woodworking—maybe we could host a workshop and show the neighborhood how to build their own eco‑friendly seats. What do you think?
Sounds like a solid idea, but only if the timber lets us see its grain before we cut. I’ll need to make sure those old fibers are still honest enough to hold up a seat and an art piece. If we can get a good sample, we can use a forgotten dovetail technique I once read about to give the bench both strength and a little surprise. Let me know when you’ve got the timber and we’ll plan the workshop.
Sounds perfect! I’ll start scouting for that reclaimed wood right away, and I’ll bring a few samples for you to check out. Once we’ve got the right grain, we can dive into that hidden dovetail trick and turn the bench into a real community landmark. Let’s coordinate the dates and keep the neighborhood excited—this workshop is going to be a hit!
Great, just bring the wood before the deadline so I can get a feel for its story. I’ll bring my pocket square for the dovetail test and we’ll make the bench a real landmark. Keep me posted on dates, and we’ll rally the neighborhood.We are done.Great, just bring the wood before the deadline so I can get a feel for its story.

Got it—I'll pick up the wood by the end of next week, just in time for your dovetail test. I’ll email you the exact dates for the workshop once we confirm the materials. Looking forward to rallying the neighborhood together and turning this bench into a true community landmark!
Sounds like a plan, just remember: if the grain’s bad, the bench will be bad. Keep me posted on the dates, and we’ll turn that timber into something the neighborhood will actually want to sit on. Looking forward to the workshop and the inevitable debates about where the grain runs.
