got an interesting piece of oak a while ago and it was still wet chucked it up and turned it a little but it was unruly and knotty
set it aside for a few week and chucked it up again this time it was better but it still needs to be a little drier so it sits again
funny part is that it may just decide to split apart and challenge me to make something out of it
i heard that michelangelo would be asked how he made those statues and he answered something like
i only let what was in the marble come out
i think this piece is still deciding what to become
it is supposed to be a pen/pencil cup with a live or natural edge it is tending toward firewood i think but it may surprise me
what was the biggest surprise you got from a piece of lumber
