<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hallingdalen, post: 11562319, member: 93477&quot;]What’s interesting is the consistency of wear and patina inside as well as outside, which argues against a recently made box with artificially aged surfaces. At the same time, this kind of straightforward plank construction can persist quite late in some regions, so it doesn’t fix a date on its own. </p><p><br /></p><p>What would help further is seeing the end grain of these bottom boards to check for hand-saw versus circular saw marks, and close-ups of a few individual screw heads from different areas to see how consistent they are. Those details would make it easier to judge whether this is earlier construction or a later continuation of traditional methods.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
