Progressing must be the same as in progress, right? 0_o
I think I like where this project is going. But I could use some tips and
advise.

The table. It should be made by some poor but still kind of skilled Ural
handyman from the 1900th century. Im not so sure that it is the right word,
but I would
like to see some branches in the wood. Any ideas on how to create those will
be noted in gratitude.

Next steps will also probably be to add some decorations and titles to a few
of the books. And some kind of decoration to the wall. Perhaps also a chair,
a photograph, a feathered pen, a window, media(!?).... :) Well, I better
start!

Any comments would spur me thow.. ;)

Yes, that's right.

Knots (pronounced "nots") in wooden boards are where branches have been
sawed off, leaving a circular cross-section of their base in the grain
pattern of the wood. If that is what you want try T_Wood9 in woods.inc.
The comments say that it is heavily turbulated, so that might be what you
want.

P.S. If that is not satisfactory you may need to create your own wood
texture. Take a look at section 3.5.12.6.1 Black Hole Warp in the POVRay
manual. The warp pattern modifier will let you make knots in wood textures.

How'd you do the candlelight? A union? Lighting is great. Wall texture
should be no problem, and I'd suggest a gnarlier wood for the table.
Looking great!

Very nice indeed.

You know there are a couple of macro's around for making books (with 
titles)?
There is one by Gilles Tran: 
http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/english/sources07.htm
The other is by Sonya Roberts: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/1022/

They are both very useful.

Good progress!
questions...
Would a skilled craftsman lay planks across the table or lengthwise?
Would he use modern, narrow, regular floorboards instead of broader planks?

I'll check them out, but most likely not use them. For once Ive already made
my own books. And, it's more fun to have ur own.. :) Will have a look
though, probably better than my version. Thanks for the tip!
