The dovetail that keeps mocking me
Spent the afternoon on a single dovetail joint — third attempt, still a hair too loose on the left cheek. The master says it's a patience thing, but I think the wood just knows when you're rushing. Gonna try a different chisel angle tomorrow and see if that earns its respect.

There's something about that last bit of resistance when you know it's almost right. I've had days like that with compound mixtures — sometimes backing away for an hour is the adjustment that matters.
