@kpw1453.bsky.socialThe Ballachulish figure which was discovered in a bog at Ballachulish in Inverness-shire. The figure dates to the Iron Age, and was possibly a goddess. Now part of the collections at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. 📸 My own. #Woodensday #IronAge #Ballachulish

@scotchurchestrust.bsky.socialGreat to see a community trust making full use of Whalsay Kirk they acquired, recycling the pews that were removed during renovation. Welly stands, coat racks and board games are some items to come out of their workshops 👇

@therronwelstead.bsky.socialThe groaning wooden shelves of J.W.Evans Silver Factory in Birmingham. These are but a few of the thousands and thousands of steel dies that were used with drop stampers to make everything from candelabras to sugar sifters. The now #EnglishHeritage property is an amazing survival. #woodensday
@scotchurchestrust.bsky.socialEvery column of the sanctuary has a slightly differently carved capital, leading the eyes upwards to the solid arches above and the pitch pine barrel-vaulted ceiling over the nave.
The beautifully carved pulpit, choir stalls, bishop’s chair and organ casing are also #WoodensDay worthy.

@carolineirwin3.bsky.social#Woodensday from St Peter and St Paul, Eye, Herefordshire. A carved grotesque dragon set in the top panel of a bench. This was taken from the original C16th box pews when the church was restored in the C19th.

Salisbury Cathedral's Chapter House table.
Legend has it that it's where the craftsmen who worked on the building were paid.
It's late 13th/early 14th C (with later top), and now too big to fit through current doors, so it's going nowhere.
@allthosebefore.bsky.socialHow about this marvellous pulpit for #Woodensday? It’s another gem from St Walburga’s Church in Veurne, Belgium.

An exhibit in the Scottish Fisheries museum
Couldn’t find any info in the museum but it might be a picture frame that would have stood up
Those lovely photos with the people’s history staying hidden!
