Sometimes it's wood working

A new entry this morning on timshels.com I don't often get to challenge myself with fine wood working, but I enjoy it when I get to play there.

I had no idea how I was going to make this long and very regular piece of wood agree with a discriminating eye so I just made a start and hoped it would work out. Apparently patience is a universal prerequisite for success. When I was done, it felt almost as good as my new bamboo double pointed knitting needles.
