Timber Frame Repair: Juxtaposition of Old and New Wood

Change this photo of a wooden grille to a close-up focusing on restoration details: retain the original perspective and component positions, but zoom in on the junction of new and old wood, allowing the viewer to clearly see the weathered silver-gray surface, cracked texture, and insect holes of the original components, and the difference in color and texture compared to the newly replaced wood next to it. The joint uses traditional mortise and tenon rather than screws, and the cross-section of the tenon is visible. Several layers of peeling old paint remain on the old wood. The rest of the grille in the background remains out of focus but identifiable. Natural side lighting, making the depth of the wood grain clear. Avoid: new and old wood being the same color, using metal fasteners, wood surface drawn smoothly, the entire grille replaced with new material.

把這張木格柵照片改成聚焦於修復細部的近景:保留原有的視角與構件位置,但推近到新舊木料的交界處,讓觀者看清楚原有構件風化成銀灰色的表面、龜裂的紋理與蟲蛀的孔洞,與旁邊新換上的木料之間顏色與質感的落差。接合處使用傳統的榫接而非螺絲,榫頭的斷面可見。舊木上還留著幾層剝落的舊漆。背景的其餘格柵保持散焦但可辨識。自然側光,讓木紋的深淺清楚。避免:新舊木料做成同色、使用金屬接合件、木料表面畫得光滑、整片格柵都換成新材。
