The shape of things to come… 🙂 My father was very good with his hands. I learned a bit from him. And wood is one one most noble materials. Easy to work. An a universe of possibilities from a table to a door, to a bed to a drawer… Endless. 🙂
What a beautiful gift, to be able to work with your hands. I’ve never been so handy myself, but there’s such pleasure in that kind of creation. And yes … A universe of possibilities!! 🙂
I don’t carve. Though I have my father’s tools. I only do a bit of carpentry, mainly to fix something. Fragments. For woodwork, the softer the wood the better. Easier. Pine is fine for carpentry. Olive wood? Haven’t tried it. Must be hard wood, right?
Doesn’t matter. Music is for fun. I took piano lessons as a kid. then dropped it. When the girls were growing they had piano lessons too. And I taught myself back to read and play music. Now I’m afraid I’ve forgotten again and need to start afresh… One day. 🙂
I do think music gets harder as you get older (same with languages). But it’s worth it. You’re so right: if it’s fun, if it brings you joy, why not? 🙂

Yes! I love unfinished things … The suggestion of the unknown in them. So glad you saw that, too. 🙂

And that is wood. Metal is harder to work. (And I hate plastic) 😉

I’m with you on the plastic.
Do you ever carve by hand? I love olive wood that’s worked that way … the gradations of color are so warm and beautiful. What’s your favorite?

I honestly don’t know much about olive wood, except that it’s so exceptionally beautiful when it’s carved.
I wish I could fix things. 🙂 jealous…

It’s been a long time … Many years ago, I played the flute decently, and sang chorale.
T and I also took ukulele lessons in September, just for fun. And it WAS fun, even if we were both kinda terrible. 😉
