Giant Wooden Plank on Stone Ledge

Neon light washes the interior in electric blues and harsh pinks, reflecting off the smooth, pale stone ledge where a massive wooden plank rests. The timber is impossibly large, towering like a bridge beam, with a tiny carpenter standing on its surface to plane a strip. Long, curled shavings spiral from the tool, resembling ribbons of pale gold against the dark wood grain. Deep, warm shadows pool in the crevices of the stone and beneath the oversized timber, against the cool, artificial glow. The carpenter wears a simple apron, dwarfed by the scale of the work. Curled wood chips drift slowly near the carpenter's boots, suspended in the heavy air. One, thick shaving hangs from the tool, catching the neon reflection in a sharp, metallic highlight.
