Damaged Cabinets is about a carpenter who sees imperfection in his work only to realize he was seeing things. It was inspired by the 9 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:

Damaged Cabinetry

Contrapositive imperfection baffles me
a twisted nodule appears in perfect symmetry

A vex for sure, my patience wearing thin
I have to fix the wood, but where do I begin

How were these slight defects generated
ruined cabinets that once were venerated

Elegant framing fit for a palace seraglio
were more expensive than you would know

Unsurpassed craftsmanship now in question
this could be my first and last impression

I train for situations, just like these
repairing wood like a doctor cures disease

Grabbing a hand saw and a wood file
this project would surely take a while

But before my work is about to start
and I begin to take the drawer apart

The damaged wood seems alright instead
a mirage it was, all inside my head
