Y'all are some stripe of a perfectionists, Bosco...that's offered with a good measure of admiration; I am familiar with the type to the point of contempt, as I are one meself.The Japanese have a phrase:"In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature. It is prevalent in many forms of Japanese art."*My first exposure to the concept was maybe 60 years ago, at Leonard's knee...at the time I thought it was all BS. I had no love for imperfect goods...but over the years have come to accept an' appreciate imperfection in hand crafted items, especially Asian. I confess to being selective, though...I've no room for such in myself...or those I love. Kinda does get inna way of relationships, an' I pay heavy dues on that insufferance from time to time. I won't hold it against you, good sir.PS: do you possess the obviously perfect wooden item you've pictured?*:Wikipedia[/QUOTE]
