Woodshop Poster with Frozen Lightning Strike

Sunlight streams through high skylights onto a polished wooden workbench scarred with deep nicks and scratches. A printed poster hangs on the wall, displaying a row of hand planes with sharp metal blades. Above the poster, the glass of the skylight fractures into a frozen bolt of lightning, branching in jagged white lines against the midday sky. Dust motes float in the bright shafts of light, illuminating the texture of the wood and the grain of the paper. Shadows stretch quietly along the classroom walls, at the base of the impossible electrical discharge in the quiet room. The sharp edge of a plane handle rests against the poster frame, contrasting the stillness of the tools with the frozen storm above.
