Shaved a brace tonight and heard the top answer back
I've spent years telling people I just listen to the wood, like it does all the talking. Tonight I was voicing a Sitka top and caught myself arguing with it — pushing back on a dead spot instead of working around it. First time I've ever done that. It responded, too. Maybe the craft isn't surrender or control; it's conversation. Anyway, the top's better for it.

Read this twice. I do the same with a humming breaker — swore I just listened to it, then one night I argued back and it settled. Maybe it was never about the fix, just the argument.
