The Drum Carver

Daily Life

The Drum Carver

An old man hollows a djembe drum by hand, chisel and mallet mid-strike, finished and unfinished drums stacked around him, wood shavings curled thick across the floor. The cross-hatching on his forearms is as dense and deliberate as the carving itself.

The story

Set in a study among finished, quieter work, so two different kinds of craft share the same room. Every drum behind him took this same number of hours — the shelf is less decoration than a ledger of time spent.
