I'm getting that 'new piece drive' that kicks in when elements start to gel. Patterns emerge from the subconsciousness and I go to bed thinking about mini shelves and dried roots. I'm up at 9am with the table saw and hand saw cutting ragged wood. Wishing I had a chop saw or knew how to cut straight.

Despite the angular cuts, the mini shelves are starting to come together. One is glued in place and drying nicely. I'll construct the second one and then decide what sits there.

The question of staining starts. Raw wood or some stain I found in the basement?

Elemental.
