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!

This one proved to be really tough imo... I look at the "Still with bolts"
image (one of my favs in HoF), but I just dont GET IT! HOW can this be
done!?!?!?
For the moment, lets just say the guy only used the middle of the trees he
chopped down... :(
Im gonna model something very square now...

I'm not familiar with the image you mention. Do you have a link to it?

If you go to: http://www.ignorancia.org/en/index.php?page=Sources_map
you can download the scene file for "Still With Bolts" from the artist,
Jaime Vives Piqueres. If you want to re-render the scene you'll also need
his "Lightsys 4" macros from the same page.

He is basically using a height_field to get the wood grain for his table,
but instead of using an image file in the height_field he is using a
function which supplies a brick patterned pigment.

height_field{
 function 1000, 1000 {
  pigment{ brick color 1 color rgb 0 mortar 2 rotate 90*x scale .001 }
 }
 water_level 0.1
 translate -0.5
 texture{........}
}

Good luck!

   Sorry, but this was the metallic grill from the second version. The 
wooden version is that one:

#declare p_base_wood1=
pigment{wood turbulence .05 scale .5 translate 33}
#declare p_base_wood2=
pigment{wood turbulence .05 scale .1 translate 333}
#declare p_wood=
pigment{
  wood turbulence 1
  pigment_map{
   [0.00 p_base_wood1]
   [1.00 p_base_wood2]
  }
  scale .05 rotate 90*y
}
height_field{
  function 512,512{
   pigment{p_wood}
  }
  translate -.5
  scale <50,.1,50>
  texture{t_wood}
}


Regards,
