Until yesterday I didn't own this. We went and played 18 holes of adventure golf with the guys next door and they decided that the winner of the game won this cup and named it the ugly cup. I won.

An incentive to not try really!

Floorboards at Chirk Castle today.


Looks like Flickr is well broken.  I'll see if this post works but although the image (and 2 others) uploaded with no error messages it has taken two tries and five minutes to get the BBC link.

Edit: Flickr seems to be back although I did get a bad panda message.  This is the second floorboard shot that I was trying to post.

Grain and rot

Armoured door.   This was the first "grain" that I saw today.  It wasn't until post-processing it that I noticed that the nails are not level and the deviation from horizontal increase down the door.  The row is quite level at the top.  Most odd. I certainly didn't notice until I put a grid on it.

I suppose this [once upon a time] might have been cut for a [small] table top or similar - just a slice through a trunk, I can't imagine another use. It was just leaning against a wall at Chirk.

End of trough grain

Half a tree trunk grain.  Laid out as seating but is of a size to be a substantial lintel or base of a timber frame.
