The old and the modern. A nice juxtaposition. Love the different woods. V

Such beautiful woodwork - with 30 odd years of exposure to sea and sun probably wouldn't take long to get the weathered look ! V

Excellent detail to describe this precision instrument.

Nice! The details and weathered appearance of the woodwork and compass add to the composition.

A very nice addition to this gallery. The composition and angles really works well in this image. I like the old technology beside the new technology as a interesting contrast. Voted

Fine craftsmanship. I see no nails and beautiful wood. V

What catches my eye in particular are the "box joint" construction. Lots of pretty wood shown here.

that does look a venerable style, and the metal casing (brass?) seems weather-worn too..
