My mom and grandfather continually put me in my place: in awe of their greatness. A few months ago, my grandpa and I built a reading chair — I had suggested the idea, he drafted the plans, and we did the carpentry together. Then time slipped by, this beautiful assembly of sculpted wood sitting alone in the corner — waiting for my mom to come for a visit and complete the project. So over the weekend, I fell under the mercy of not only my grandpa’s, but also my mom’s, formidable talent. The fruits of my mom’s delicate and meticulous labor are captured here in a ~6 minute time-lapse video (one frame captured every 30 seconds).

Thanks Momma and Gramps!
