Galen Codex - Tool Grooved Wooden Tray

• Reginus Buca Storm-Weathered Drafting Top Interesting, you don't often see this kind of wood outside of a shipyard. But I can see the logic behind using it for a drafting surface. The material is sturdy, can withstand any weather, and as you can see with your own eyes, it'll last a lifetime.
• Gabrielle Benele Storm-Weathered Drafting Top It's entirely possible that this was used in a shipyard, Reginus. I'm no expert, but the wear and tear on this surface doesn't seem typical of a typical drafting table. Some aggressive woodworking was done on this thing. I'm surprised it tilts!
• Ugron go-Thumog Storm-Weathered Drafting Top I have to agree. I see heavy Breton influence in the construction, but it's early. Probably right around the time of the first shipyards in Gonfalon Bay!
• Ugron go-Thumog Admiral's Carved Trestle Base Now this is sturdy craftsmanship. Judging by the age, I'd say this was put together some time after the signing of the Concordat of Fraternity. A good deal of Breton workers brought their families to High Isle and put down roots in the shipyards then.
• Reginus Buca Admiral's Carved Trestle Base See the design along the legs? Ugron could speak to this better than I, but it seems reminiscent of designs of the All Flags Navy. Could it have been left behind from one of the crews after the signing? Or just made by one of the laborers that stayed?
• Ugron go-Thumog Admiral's Carved Trestle Base Reginus is correct. I'd hazard to say this might have been made by the engineers and laborers tasked with the construction of the monument that commemorated the fleet's triumph over the Sload.
• Reginus Buca Tool Grooved Wooden Tray See the hinges on the side? It must have been attached to a larger piece, looking at the size of bolts. It looks Breton in design, but I'm not sure what the purpose was. Something for cooking, perhaps?
• Verita Numida Tool Grooved Wooden Tray I believe this is actually part of some kind of work station. The grooves in the bottom of the tray are indicative of a great deal of use, they're worn by time and rough treatment. Not delicate enough for cooking, or anything artistic, I'd imagine.
• Reginus Buca Tool Grooved Wooden Tray Ah! Interesting, thank you, Verita. Now that I examine it more closely, I see what you mean. There are also grooves on the sides, perhaps this was a drawer? It could have been an attachment to store tools within a larger work station.
