Yet another option for the creative Pirate, which can be modified in so many ways (flame LEDs, in particular) - a Mary Rose lantern. http://www.oocities.org/firespiter/lantern/lantern.htm

Perhaps you already own a lantern, and want to replace the glass for a more authentic portrayal… or perhaps you are making your own Mary Rose lantern… below are some references for pane materials. https://www.ashevillemica.com/lampshade/?_vsrefdom=ppcbing&msclkid=51f96f76c3cd14d4cf8b0b6df4c4f8b6&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Asheville&utm_term=%2BLampshade %2BMica %2BSheets&utm_content=Lampshade Mica Sheets https://www.townsends.us/products/cow-horn-pane-for-lantern-or-hornbook https://www.crazycrow.com/frontier-era-crafts/horn-lantern-pane-3x7inx2mm-in-amber A wonderful article on conservators recreating horn panes: https://resources.culturalheritage.org/anagpic-student-papers/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2020/04/anagpic2011_Promise_poster.pdf Reference from the Worshipful Company of Horners: https://www.horners.org.uk/the-company/the-horn-collection/ and the Honorable Company of Horners: http://www.hornguild.org/articles-from-the-archives/heating-cow-horn-by-the-horn-swogglers/ More period reference, from The 18th Century Material Culture Resource Center website (https://materialculture18t.wixsite.com/18thcmcrc) https://www.scribd.com/document/254740196/Lighting-Lanterns-Street-Lamps

Ah, thank you! Fascinating to know the evolution and requirements that restricted widespread use…
-
Beautiful shot! So, when did rifling become common?
-
Welcome back!
-
Really?? I was under the impression rifling didn’t occur until later…

That chest is interesting, in that the top lid appears square, which does not appear reflected in the apparent depth of the front door section. Perhaps it is 2-sided? Or the top compartment is partially full depth to the drawers (or lower), for tools or taller bottles? *Edit - addition* Ah, yes, upon review of the article and additional photo, the upper compartment is more visible, and appears to be limited, whereas back hinges are clearly visible, indicating a 2nd door.

Ah! I was wondering if it was the screw-off barrel - nice to see it, and I agree, the lines are lovely.
-
Floral themes and scrollwork were popular at the time… if the tile layout is diamond instead of square, that can create a nice lattice effect.
-
I would love to see what you come up with! My creativity tends to be far more straightforward…

😄
-
Lovely!

Another project I continually backburner, because… welll, it’s soooo easy, I figure I will always have time to get to it. Because, you know, we all have loads of time before an event. 😉

Lovely work! That is in my “Materials Acquired” project status… where projects can wait for years…

Nidget to be added to my vocabulary, immediately. 😊😄

Which got me thinking about loblolly pine… from the Wikipedia entry for Loblolly Pine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_taeda, under Etymology: The word "loblolly" is a combination of "lob", referring to thick, heavy bubbling of cooking porridge, and "lolly", an old British dialect word for broth, soup, or any other food boiled in a pot. In the southern United States, the word is used to mean "a mudhole; a mire," a sense derived from an allusion to the consistency of porridge. Hence, the pine is named as it is generally found in lowlands and swampy areas.[8] Loblolly pines grow well in acidic clay soil, which is common throughout the South, thus are often found in large stands in rural places.

I would agree, having seen the above videos previously- it seems there are more well researched and presented kits out there to refer to. -

Love seeing these kits! -
😄 Boarding patterns! I can just see a pirate captain holding up a football diagram board now, to a rapt audience of pirates… 😄
-
Interesting! If each person were to make a unique block print design, but with a border consistent across all the blocks, we could tile them together into a larger pattern.
-
Wow, what a beautiful presentation!
