I think it wasn't so much the species but more a reaction to what was then seen as grand parents furniture (Danish modern).<br />Now it is popular again in the shape of the Danish modern furniture classics. Funny how the cycle goes.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-90399894638318501472019-01-07T22:50:57.008-08:002019-01-07T22:50:57.008-08:00Beautiful find.

To m...Hi Sylvain<br /><br />Thanks for the interesting link.<br /><br />To my knowledge there is no regulations stating that you should keep damage control materials on board. At least not for the ship itself. But for the life rafts there has to be a repair set supplied with them.<br /><br />Mostly timber on board merchant vessels will be brought on board as dunnage, material used for securing a cargo.<br /><br />They could also have been used to lay under some sort of cargo, to keep it clear of the deck, but it is just a guess. <br />Anyway, now they are safely offloaded and hopefully they will be put to good use :-)<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-2931936319084204722019-01-07T01:44:46.551-08:002019-01-07T01:44:46.551-08:00The next chapter better illustrate the idea:
