I shall be on school business tonight and even if I return early, my latest Fine Woodworking arrived today. Mmmm, woodworker porn!
I wrote that one once. And yes it was meant as porn.
The Carpenter
The carpenter’s eyes
Play along the beams
He blends dark and light
With an artisan’s skill
The carpenter’s hands
Move along the wood
Smoothing rough edges
With a delicate touch
Wetting the wood
He raises the grain
Creating sharp contrast
With the lightest touch
With delicate cuts
He fits the joints
An invisible seam.
Two become one.
With the smoothest strokes
He oils his work
His hands are his brush
The wood warms to his touch.
One final caress
Before the lights go out
As he walks out the door
His work done for the day.
