That's funny. I seem to remember Nelson was shot in the other shoulder...
The coat Nelson was wearing at Trafalgar. The port side epaulette is damaged and there is an adjacent hole, caused by a French musket ball. The calibre of the ball was not a standard French musket calibre, but an older one, fuelling some speculation that he was hit by canister shot rather than a French marksman. I don't think he cared about the distinction. Detail of The Death of Nelson, 21 October 1805 by Arthur William Devis. There is so much wrong with this picture - Nelson has been shot in the starboard shoulder, the timberwork is wrong compared to the place on the ship where he actually died and he appears to be lit by some hidden spot lamps. I reckon he drew this first, then when he transferred it to the canvas, he accidentally mirrored the image (the other possibility is that he deliberately mirrored it so that prints made of the picture might then be the right way round. The lighting issue is a technique stolen from classical art - Christ was routinely depicted as a light figure in a dark scene, and Nelson acquired demigod status due to Trafalgar. Oddly enough, for all the totemic value of Trafalgar in Britain, Napoleon didn't care. He wasn't going to invade - he was already on his way to Austerlitz to face what he considered a more serious enemy.

Panoramic photograph of The Penny Black pub in Northwich, featuring an imposing black-and-white Tudor-style timber-framed façade. Five steep gables, intricate decorative timberwork and rows of white-framed windows dominate the symmetrical composition. A bright red telephone box stands outside, contrasting with the monochrome building beneath a uniformly grey, overcast sky.

A charming meeting of old and new architecture. I love the character of this lovely house, with its timberwork, weathered roof, tall chimney and blue lantern. The garden softens the brickwork, while the modern building behind creates a striking contrast between two eras. More photos: fotogewoon.nl

Roof details of Kawasaki Daishi shrine, Kanagawa, Japan
Framed in a dramatic vertical close-up, repeating tiers of structural timber rafters (taruki) recede into a soft, glowing depth. In the immediate foreground, dark ceramic roof tiles terminate in circular eave-end tiles (gatou), each embossed with an intricate lotus blossom emblem (renge-mon) resting above vibrant vermilion timberwork. Beneath the curved tile edge, red support beams capped with polished metal fittings (kazari-kanagu) and gilded tips (koguchi) create a striking rhythm against pristine white plaster soffits. As the structural grid ascends, the alternating bands of sacred red, brilliant gold, and pure white soften into a luminous bokeh, transforming functional architectural joinery into an abstract tapestry of geometric light and shadow. This detail captures the majestic eaves of Kawasaki Daishi (Heima-san Kongō-in Shinsho-ji), a prominent temple of the Shingon Chizan sect in Kanagawa Prefecture, founded in 1128 and world-renowned as a sanctuary for warding off misfortune (yakuyoke). The multi-tiered rafter system—known as futa-shigoki—is a hallmark of classical Japanese temple architecture, engineered by specialized temple carpenters (miyadaiku) to support the immense weight of heavy ceramic roof tiles through complex, nail-less interlocking joinery. Every carved lotus tile and gilded rafter tip reflects centuries of dedicated monozukuri (artisanal mastery), where traditional metalworking, lacquerwork, and wooden joinery merge to create structures capable of withstanding seismic shifts while maintaining monumental aesthetic grace.

Another view of the post on Goodramgate. In the background is York Minster. The post has numerous patches and some hefty iron reinforcements.

A pencil drawing of a post holding up a timber framed building. The timberwork shows signs of repair, including an iron reinforcement bar and several bolts. In the foreground are some advertising boards and in the background an outline of a cathedral.

Somme today. Probably 5ft diameter & maybe 20ft deep. Signs of substantial timberwork close to bottom. Off the beaten track & authorities aware. Someone has mentioned ladders & rope, but I'm not getting involved😲

The three-story pagoda at Gansen-ji Temple (岩船寺) located in Kizugawa City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan
Framed by a brilliant canopy of golden autumn foliage, this photograph captures the intricate architectural details of the famous three-story pagoda (Sanjūnotō, 三重塔) at Gansen-ji Temple (岩船寺) in Kizugawa, Kyoto Prefecture. Designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan, the current wooden structure was completed in 1442 during the Muromachi period and stands as a hallmark of medieval Buddhist architecture, celebrated for its vibrant vermilion-lacquered timberwork, complex multi-stepped bracketing (tokyō), and gracefully flared, tiled rooflines. Nestled in the tranquil, mountain-ringed valley of the historic Tōno district near the border of Kyoto and Nara—an area long revered for its stone Buddhas (sekibutsu) and seasonal natural beauty—the composition highlights the striking harmony between the structured elegance of traditional Japanese temple craft and the changing colors of the surrounding landscape.

'What will survive of us is love' - An Arundel Tomb, by Philip Larkin

Spindly script on the altar table at St Mary's, Kenderchurch in Herefordshire. Much of the timberwork has been turned to dust by woodworm, but LOVE survived. #FriendsofFriendlessChurches

Members spent two days this week investigating the fabulous Oakwell Hall, Birstall, and trying to understand the stonework and the timberwork inside. Not sure that a consensus was reached - discussions are ongoing!

A triangular timber panel with a carved inscription depicting the arms of the Adair family, dated 1618, hangs on the wall.

Fine timberwork can also be seen in the communion table and pulpit.

A worthy #Woodensday example too of Georgian timberwork pews and U plan gallery. The wooden font is simple but elegant.

Both Southend and Saddell are part of the united South Kintyre Parishes group, along with Campbeltown.

And when I dropped Greg off at New St station this afternoon to get his train home I spotted this mural on the old Crown Inn. Birmingham's finest.

It looks like a woodworking vice because of the flat jaws but the screw, pin and handle actually look like they might be from a leg vice. The two bottom bits are just to fasten it to a post, the punched piece looks like a bit of steel bracing used in timberwork

You've probably heard of "measure twice, cut once". Today I worked on an extended version of that with some home timberwork.
- Measure twice
- Cut once
- Swear once
- Measure again
- Cut twice more
- Swear a lot
- Measure again
- Cut three times
- Hurl wood and saw over fence

I'd go with the Vietnamese Strategic Technical Directorate & especially OPLAN 34 "Timberwork" which were the airborne operations. A 100% failure rate, where every single person dropped in was either captured or killed.

Thanks for the link - some years ago had a private tour of Castle Leod with the owner, the Earl of Cromarty, to look at the impressive historic timberwork inside. That was for a Dendro project on Scots pine, so I didn’t look at the grounds. Will have to go back 🌳💚

From Gothic towers and Tudor timberwork to ornate clocks, carved stone and hidden details, the city’s architecture is full of stories waiting above street level.

2/In the sharply sloping V-shaped roof, the timberwork is full of names and messages, some written on the wood, some written on papers pinned or slipped between the wooden boards.
Personally, I like "Ignorance Breeds Hate, Read a Book"
