Tiny Town Built From Carpenter Offcuts and Shavings

A tiny town of sloped roof houses, a church with a dowel steeple and a spool water tower is built from carpenter offcuts with trees of curled wood shavings.

Prompt

Fit separately shaped solid-wood pieces in shallow relief, varying grain and elevation, planes blending smoothly and seams fitted, with no flat veneer or uninterrupted carved grain field, wood grain and seams below fingertip scale, a polished highlight on each piece. A tiny town built from carpenter's offcuts in a wide frame: wood offcut houses with sloped roofs from angled scraps, a church from a stacked block and a dowel steeple, a main street of flat plank sidewalk, a water tower on a spool, trees from curled wood shavings and a sky of pale birch, every offcut keeping its original grain and saw marks. Light: soft warm daylight on the polished wood with shallow shadows between the pieces; palette of maple, walnut, oak and cherry; playful, tidy, resourceful. Wide 16:9 frame. No people, no readable signs, labels, lettering, brand marks or logos anywhere; surfaces show honest wear, ordinary believable details.
