But while I have a lot of favorite passages in the book, there are two simple words that stand out the most. They have insidiously stuck in my mind and have shaded many of my thoughts since I first paid attention to them. Both my thoughts on sawdust and elsewhere. I was compelled to scrawl them on one of the tenons for the lid of my chest before I glued them up. Sealing their delicious paradox into the wood, into the chest, and into my life.

| Disobey Me! was not the only thing I wrote on the tenons, you can read about that experience HERE. |
I used the techniques Steve Shanesy demonstrated in this YouTube video to layout the ellipse on the front of the chest. After a couple coats of the red I pulled the tape off and was left with this wonderful open area. I intend to stencil in the lettering for Oldwolf Workshop Studio in that space..JPG)
I also primed the center space inside the lid. Its my intention is to paint the lid in a lettered version of the saw/sign I painted a while ago. |

So far Im not unhappy with the way things are working. But if I change my mind in the future I can fall in line and repaint the whole thing black. There by disobeying the order asking me to disobey. Confused yet? What else is a paradox for? Maybe Chris explains it better HERE.

Either way Im calling this one done for now and moving on to other matters. Theres that Spice Chest I started and my oldest daughters 16th birthday is just around the corner and I have something I really want to build for her.Ratione et Passionis
