For Bob Smalser: Warning, photobomb - jgourlay - 09-13-2015
In honor of Bob Smalser, I offer you the following Photobomb from the Viking Ship Museuem in Oslo. Note the many "looks like they were cut with a router usinga 3/4" straight bit" through tenons on the chest corner.
This rivets look to be iron, but maybe are bronze.
Complex Fretwork
Steering board "star-board". I couldn't get a really good look at the articulating joint.
Were I a viking...I would have momma sew me a viking pillow into my viking undies...
Couldn't get an adequate answer on what wood was used so...."can someone name this wood?"
Here's what "shiplap" really means....
Wagon wheels like this make you appreciate the technological marvel known as the 'conestoga wagon'.
Straight outta Skyrim....
Zoom in on the corner to see tenons...
Tenons
Note the very fine carving on the whatever-the-heck this is. Note the very fine cuts to add a detail.
Again with the carving

Carving...and tenons

Watercraft were typically built from oak in the "Viking" countries. Not quite Follansbee firewood splitting, but very similar in an extended fashion.
Thanks for sharing.

The tenons on that bench (?) are the origins of Greene and Greene, I think

That's awesome!
Rounded tenons, though. What on earth? I guess the tenons were bored out with an auger, and nobody bothered to square up the ends. They just rounded the tenons instead.

If the stock was split to begin with it may have been pretty easy and fast to round it by splitting down the grain.

Thanks for posting this. I've always wanted to see a Viking long ship up close and personal. Lucky you!
Here's some interesting joinery on a Norse bed found with the Oseberg burial ship. Thinking about building it for my grandson. The sides are half-lapped into the head posts with tusk tenons on the foot and head posts and through tenons for the slats.
