The
Challenge
This was my first project going beyond traditional woodworking. Combining solid wood with epoxy resin introduced an entirely new set of materials, techniques and decisions. It challenged me to think several steps ahead, balancing careful planning with the flexibility to adapt when the build didn't unfold exactly as expected.

The
reflection
This project gave me the confidence to experiment with unfamiliar materials and take on more ambitious ideas. More importantly, it taught me that successful craftsmanship begins long before construction. The best outcomes come from thoughtful planning, patience and understanding the material as much as the process.
"The best decisions are made long before the first cut."
