she forms semi-scissions with a three inch nail across her thighs ..........lets out a sigh of salvation before the tears arrive . ..........jesus watches on, a chamfered hand dangling at his side
A carpenter take an old tree that we all assume to be dead. Then gives it LIFE again into something that might end up being her own wooden bed or Tuck's guitar neck.

Some nice mouthfuls here. And intriguing images...
But I'm not completely sure if I can see "rabbets semi-scissions" given that rabbets are grooves and scissions are divisions or fissions.
Also, chamfers are beveled edges, used most often to refer to furniture-making (as is rabbet).
I am sitting and watching with Jesus and waiting for him to explain it, after all he's the carpenter. I am enjoying these little montages of mystery!
Mmm, I suppose should have got that, but I'm so clueless when it comes to religious references...
Overheard in a chapel:"have you ever noticed how Jesus is always so buff"
"yeh well he was a carpenter"
"it's nice they nailed him up there mostly naked then eh?"
