Joints

Not so much the single toss of the caber, but the repeated activity of lifting this piece stayed in the mind as a potential drawing theme. Each trial to mate up the joint in the standing piece with its corresponding new mate on a piece on the stalls outside the home requires a bit of effort, but luckily nothing like the effort involved in mating up each one of the joints on the roof project, this time working on a much more manageable scale, probably a bit bigger than it appears here though. I spend much of the time fondling bits of wood, but still call on the stuff for luck when things seem in doubtful mood.
