<h1>One Dovetail, Morganton</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>The smell of pine resin still lingers in the shop. A 19th-century side chair came in with its back rail split clean through the joint. I cut new pins by hand, matched the grain as best I could, and let it sit under weight until the glue cured.</p>

<p>No flourish. Just steady pressure until the wood remembered how to hold together again.</p>
