New selection of historic woods - History in your hand
February 18, 2024A selection of new woods - History in your hand.
After a very busy end to last year and subsequently an exhausted slow start to this year, I have finally found time to source some more historical woods.
I will be sharing more details of these over the next few weeks. They do however cover a large time period from the seventeen hundreds. Also a number of areas of interest, Oak from part of a cannon base that is understood to have fired on Nelson at the battle of Tenerife 1797.
Oak beam from an 1840's Conestoga Wagon that once crossed the wild west. A small picture but the piece is about 5ft long and solid oak with a very tight grain.
Side rails from a barrow cart at Covent Gardens London.
Gun carriage wheels from a few different carriages
A piece of a Peerless lorry wheel rim and spoke, both a little worse for wear.
I will go into more detail of each of the woods in later blog posts as I am able to get more information together and fill in the story of the pieces.
