This piece is not only super interesting to look at, but has this aspect of family. I never got to meet my grandfather, but he would always make things: desks, bookshelves, even carved ships. He was a builder, and this piece reminds me of all the parts and details of building. Each piece had to be carved, scripted, hammered, sanded, and painted to be put together to make something. This conveys the beauty of builders—they can take a piece of wood that many would overlook and transform it into something people can enjoy.
