Tangible Handmade

I have been involved in the creation of entertainment media for many years. I love it. My hobby is woodworking. I have kept some items that were handmade by me over the years; I like to wander hardware departments and stores that sell wood. Media is all around us but you can’t touch it like you can handmade usable things. Recently, I came across a batch of live edge planed walnut lumber. So I made a small table top to replace one that I built years ago for my studio. It turned out alright! Even if I do say so myself. Then, I made a bridge for my monitors to get them a little higher at my stand-up desk. I didn't like looking down on my video editor time-lines and I was getting a stiff neck. One day I noticed the pile of live-edge walnut was selling off… Fast forward: A purchase was made, there was cutting and sanding, tung oil was applied and voila! And that stiff neck is fading.
