ZenLily & Maslo
Hey Maslo, I was thinking about creating a little meditation nook right here in the forest. I’d love to craft a simple wooden altar or a cushion frame that’s both serene and sturdy. What do you think? Could use your woodworking skills to make it feel grounded and peaceful.
Sounds good. A low‑panel frame made from cedar or pine would stay solid but not feel too heavy. I’d keep the joints simple, maybe use a dovetail for strength and a bit of hand‑carved detailing for that calm touch. The cushion can be a simple round piece with a woven willow or a soft straw filling. We can add a small stone basin for water or a candle holder—just enough to bring that grounding vibe. Let me know the dimensions and any finish you like, and we’ll get started.
That sounds wonderful. I’d like the frame about thirty by thirty centimeters, cedar with a light natural oil finish so it keeps its shape but still feels soft to the touch. For the cushion, a round 20‑centimeter piece of cotton stuffed with soft straw and a faint hint of sandalwood would keep it calm and inviting. A small stone basin for a single tea‑lit candle would finish the space nicely. Let me know if that works for you.
Got it. Thirty by thirty cedar with a light oil finish will feel solid but still soft. A 20‑centimeter cotton cushion filled with straw and a touch of sandalwood sounds calming. I’ll carve a small stone basin that fits a single tea candle. Just tell me when you want me to start and I’ll bring it all together.
Thank you, Maslo. I’d love to see this begin tomorrow morning when the light is still soft. Take your time with the carving, and let me know if you need anything else.
Sounds good, I’ll get the cedar prepped and start the carving tomorrow at dawn. If I need extra wood or a finer saw, I’ll let you know. I’ll keep you posted on the progress. Looking forward to seeing it come together.
That sounds perfect, Maslo. I’ll be here in the quiet of the morning, ready to breathe new life into the space. Let me know if anything changes, and I’ll hold space for the completion.
