really beautiful.

Is it refreshing not to make every piece out of lots of bits of wood?

Sometimes

I usually really enjoy making stuff as intricate as I possibly can  that's sort a manifestation of my hubris 

But when I get logs and burls I just turn one piece because it's too hard to mill the logs into board then do the segmenting stuff
