Old Wood Plank Walls: Horizontal Dark Lines

A wall clad with old wooden planks. Wide pine or spruce boards are arranged horizontally in parallel, with a narrow recessed groove between each board. The wood is aged, dark brown with a grayish tint, and its surface has weathered textures, wormholes, and nail holes, with the wood grain raised where the softer parts have worn away. It is unpainted, only naturally oxidized over many years. Avoid: using brand new planks, staining the wood to make it look old, painting it to make the surface smooth, or arranging the planks vertically or diagonally.

一面舊木板包覆的牆。寬版的松木或雲杉板以水平方向平行排列,板與板之間有一道細窄的凹縫;木材是有年代的舊料,顏色是深褐帶灰,表面有風化的紋理、蟲孔與釘孔,木紋因為軟木部分被磨掉而凸起。沒有上漆,只有多年的自然氧化。避免:使用全新的木板、把木材染色做舊、上漆讓表面平滑、讓板的方向做成垂直或斜向。
