As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up ways to kill one another.Why do you think we invented politics and religion.

another thing that happens, is that when i start to imagine how something is going to go, but i am nowhere near my tools or materials, my imagination starts to feed me processes and techniques ("i'll do it this way, and then like this...")...i can practically feel my mind extending like a knife into my imaginary material and cutting it.

sculptors say they imagine their artifact in the block, and then chip away the parts that don't belong...this feels the same...

Hey I'm so much in agreement... you've got to find the bow in the wood.
A while back I found some old weathered oak gravel board with a 45degree twist in it...I end up making it into a sculpture of a Deer for Mrs Cat's birthday!
Here it is in the background of this video of me shooting my Hazel (that I thought was Birch :-[ bow)
