LaminationA Poem by Doug BlairLamination Small blocks only Fractional inches thick Some light, some dark Some harder than others Glued together Under clamp pressure And a glued base plate Time passes... Cometh the lathe And the clamping The spinning The varieties of chisel Cutting rough And cutting fine Making noise Or hardly heard First the outside contours For general appearance But eventually face on For the inner, working Part of the vessel Craftsman knows His job Wood submits Spinning But strangely all working Together for good A beautiful piece created Every step necessary In the delightful Age-old process Of shaping a saint. Every cut with love. And Sovereign vision. © 2015 Doug Blair |
