Steve is my appealing husband of over 30 years

A carpenter by trade

a perfect career fit

The compatibility he has

with wood

has revealed itself to be outstanding

The wood and him are a great team

Both are flexible workable breathable sustainable

At almost 80

Steve is still versatile and useful

-like wood

The wood and him are One

Steve’s bendable brain

is easily adjustable

and remodeled

His ideas can be

removed cut trimmed formed shimmed glued nailed and drilled

Sure –

now and then

like wood can be too

Steve gets

waterlogged

bit into by bugs

is not fire proof

and can feel rot

Overall

my husband has been and is

a great and fair deal

for himself

and for everyone who works with

and knows him

including the real deal he and wood easily have together
