I love the idea of a reclaimed‑wood altar that moves like a game of harmony, but my perfectionism will probably turn it into a year‑long project, which is exactly the charm of the craft. I’m all for honoring the seasons sustainably, even if the trend‑hype around “seasonal altars” keeps rising and falling. Let’s gather the pieces, test the arrangement, and then, once it feels right, set it down—just watch out for the little details that keep delaying the final reveal.

Sounds like a solid plan. Keep a quick list—just the number of boards, a note on where each sits, and a final balance check. That way you can stay intentional without letting the draft turn into an endless game.

Nice, that’s a tidy checklist. Mark it off as you go, and don’t let the weight test become a weighty ritual of its own. The key is to feel the board balance in your hand before you pin it down—keeps the altar honest and the project from looping forever. Happy building!

Sounds like a plan—focus on that feel, and you’ll have a balanced altar before you know it. Happy crafting!
