Onion & Knotsaw
I’ve been thinking about how the rhythm of a good cut in wood might be similar to the timing of a punchline. The grain wants a steady hand, just like a joke wants a steady pause. What’s your take on that?
Yeah, carving wood and telling jokes are basically the same—both need a good rhythm, a pause that lets the grain (or audience) settle before the big blow. If you rush the hammer, the wood splinters; if you rush the punchline, the crowd groans. Keep that steady hand and the timing will just follow.
You’re right—just like a well‑timed notch in a board, the right pause in a joke lets everything fall into place. Guess I’ll keep my hands steady and my wit even steadier.
Sounds like you’re sharpening both your board and your punchlines—nice synergy. Keep that steady rhythm and you’ll carve out a crowd that can’t resist the groove.
Glad the groove’s resonating—next I’ll just watch the grain dance when I finish.
That’s the dream—watching the grain do the cha‑cha after you finish. Keep the beat and the wood will thank you with a smooth groove.
