Pure poetry
To actually see the work you put into each piece is a glorious thing indeed.
To me, it's mechanical poetry in motion- always striving for that moment when the true surface
of the parts is found. Just like hitting the final facet on my stones, you must reach a certain "zen"
when you get it just right. That second, when you just feel the surface is exactly the shape and look
you wanted, almost known from feeling the tool glide properly that last cut, that last stroke. I know I do!
That is the feeling I live for in my work, I'm sure you do as well, Don, otherwise you wouldn't take your
level of finish and detail to the levels you do. It makes me happy to see this. It really is a form of meditation,
except with tools.
This series of posts has so far been, in all the time the PuristS community has been on the web, by far
my favorite posts. I can't wait for the next installment!
