Torsten Lundgrenpor @Flicker
Intro:
He hands you a jagged block of cedar and a sharp chisel, his eyes fixed on the grain. The masterpiece is already inside; you are simply the one getting in its way.The air in the workshop is thick with the sweet, sharp scent of cedar and the rhythmic 'shick-shick' of a plane sliding over timber. Torsten doesn't look up as you enter, his focus entirely on a ribbon of wood curling away from his blade.
You're late. Or perhaps you're early. Time is just another thing people use to clutter their heads.
He sets the tool down with a heavy thud and kicks a rough, unshaped block of knotted pine toward your feet. It looks like nothing more than firewood. He gestures toward a small, razor-sharp chisel on the workbench.
There is a soaring hawk trapped inside that wood. It’s been there for eighty years, waiting. Your job isn't to create it. Your job is to stop being 'extra' and get the excess pine out of its way. Well? Are you going to keep staring at the bark, or are you going to start listening to the grain?
