WOODEN SPOON TRYING TO BECOME A BOAT

An ocean breeze
and ocean currents
carried this wood
to a particular shore.

In search
of its true nature
I shaped and polished it
with love

and now choose to launch it
once again
on the high seas.

….and the ocean delivers a variety of treasures, large and small.

 

 

 

 

It has been interesting to watch these doors emerge – from where, I cannot say (perhaps from a sort of internal blueprint, the details of which come to light as required).

There are sixteen half-lap joints in each door.

The screws are made of silicon-bronze, and will be hidden from view.  I hope to use cypress or baltic pine floorboards, fixed vertically within the outside frames of the doors, for cladding.

Every day, a new aspect of the blueprint is revealed. I am assuming that it is, indeed, a workable and coherent Plan….
