in the begining . . . /kezdetben . . .

Hello, Matt here: last year I build Oliver a bunk bed. When Benjamin began sleeping in the kid's room, it became obvious that I would have to do something about the ladder. It was made of rope and wood. When Oliver would ascend or descend, it would make quite a bit of noise. So I cut up some wood and routered grooves for an all-new stationary wood ladder. Last week I finally got around to finishing it. After staining each piece a different color, I got out the router to see if I could actually draw shapes. The final product, seen above, tells the creation story: God created the waters, the land, the skies, the heavens and everything in them. Oliver loved it, but asked why I didn't make a flower, motivating me to carve flowers in the uprights. So there you have it. I am very pleased with it, in fact I think it's one of the most spontaneous, creative things I've done in a long time.

Csak akartam mutatni a lépcsőt amit csináltam Olivér emelt ágyára. Használtam egy felsőmarot depiktálni a teremtést: Kezdetben Isten teremtet a vizeket, a földet, az egeket, a mennyeket, és mindent ami bennük.
