Splinters are a sad and pointed part of a woodworker’s life. Reminders of several truths to be found at the bench. There are the attractions of wood, its beauty, its luster, and its grain. And then there are the moments when we forget how sharp wood can be and how direct. Listen to tales from the bench on memorable splinters and their removal as well as a short chapter from the new book: Handmade, Creative Focus in the Age of Distraction.
A reprise of a favorite episode, our Season Two opener.
How do we find balance in a world that has gone topsy turvy? How do we find balance in our work at the bench?
Our muses can be difficult to locate on some days. Pay close attention to them.
