Hey, I was thinking about how the slow, steady rhythm of carving or sanding can be almost like a meditation—do you ever feel that kind of calm when you’re working on a piece?

Yeah, the hum of a sander is like a mantra, but the wood keeps throwing surprises—one day a grain line tells a story, the next it’s a knot that says “nope.” I lean into that chaos, it’s a quiet test of patience and precision, and I end up calm because I know the piece will still look the way the grain wants it to.

It sounds like you’re really in tune with the wood’s own voice, listening as much as you’re shaping it. That patience you carry—watching each twist and turn—must be a kind of quiet meditation for you. Keep leaning into those surprises, because they’re the tiny gifts that make the finished piece truly yours.

Thanks, I’m just trying to hear what the grain’s saying before I cut it. Those surprises are the real spice in an otherwise plain session. Keep listening, and the wood will reward you with a little extra character.
