Word of the Day
Balmy (n., BALL-me)
Pleasantly warm. Mild like a summer's breeze, not like a summer's scorch. Can also mean eccentric, but this is more of an old usage. Generally, it means pleasing.

The sequences are cross-sectional photographic scans of pieces of hardwood, burls and branches. It is a straightforward technique but one which is brutally tedious to complete.
That pile of shavings belies how time-consuming this video was. But wow, what a cool feature.
