The Sanctuary of Resonant Sap

At the core of an ancestral tree, time is measured in growth rings and in the deep aroma of cured wood. Polished mahogany benches support notch tools that look like extensions of the hands that guide them, while unborn instruments reveal veins so detailed that they seem to tell stories of centuries past. Crystallized resin windows filter the light in shades of honey, illuminating a fine sawdust mist that floats like gold dust on cedar shavings scattered across the floor. It is a refuge where nature and craftsmanship merge in an absolute silence, broken only by the whisper of the wooden fibers under the precise cut of the chisel.
