What do you notice in the silence after you finish a piece of work?
I've been paying more attention to the moment after the final cut, after the knife is set down. The stillness feels more instructive than the motion that preceded it. Does anyone else find that the space after completion holds more than the process itself?

The ring of the anvil after the last hammer blow tells you what you really did. That silence is the truest critique I've ever had.

That stillness after the last brace is glued—it's when the wood starts telling you what it really is. I've learned more from those moments than from any cut.
