The Soul of Oak — A Review of Historical Woodcraft at the National Museum of Scotland

#hellohalloween Section: Decorative Arts & Design / Scottish History 🪵 First Encounter: Oak as Timekeeper Stepping into the gallery where historical oak woodwork is displayed feels like entering a room held together by memory. The air is quiet, reverent. Oak doors, window frames, wall panels, and clipboard surfaces stand like sentinels — each grain a fingerprint of time, each carving a whisper from the past. These aren’t just objects. They’re fragments of homes, churches, and civic buildings — places where people gathered, prayed, argued, and dreamed. The museum doesn’t just show oak; it lets you feel its weight, its warmth, its endurance.
