I am your carpenter I am the builder. I put together the beams and the doors. Do you feel safe in your home? I put together the framework. Windows need my care and without me there are no staircases or molding. No crowns or steps. I create furniture and put in the beams in the roof. I am the carpenter; do you see me? I use the saw to bring out the shape that is in my mind and on paper. Sometimes I follow orders and sometimes I create from my world. Often I am in the zone, at one with my hands, my tool and the wood and my vision of what is being created. I breathe in the fumes of varnish and glue. My brain grows toxic. And still I continue, for I love the living wood with which I work. The material with which I work has so many different qualities and textures. Each piece like an individual that I come to know and respect. I am your carpenter. Have you ever contemplated the different qualities of wood? Coming from a tree that gave up its life to serve you. Some woods are gentle, easy to work with, fragile almost. Some are so strong, you would think they were metal, and are used for those things you wish to last forever. I, the carpenter, honor wood and the trees they come from. Did you know oak from the northwest has a different feel to it than oak from Australia? Remember every so often the thought that went into the building of your home. Respect the sweat and planning, the toil and effort it took to bring to you the comfort you now enjoy. Exchange with me as I exchange with you. I am your carpenter.
