Wood Parquetry Floor


I bought a hand-made marquetry tray at a garage sale. The owner said her grandfather had made this. Well, it just looked like the perfect floor for one of the rooms in my castle, so by cutting off the sides of the tray, I ended up with an 11 1/4 by 17 1/4" floor. I'm not sure what room it will be for the castle, but I couldn't resist it!

  1. When it comes to chronometer tests (or competitions), points are rolex replica awarded in different categories and in Kew's tests a total of 100 points could have been scored – by the perfect replica watches watch, that is. 40 points were awarded for a complete absence of variation of daily rate (i.e. a watch that runs at +0 seconds a day), 40 points for absolute freedom from change of rate with change of position (i.e. a watch whose timekeeping performance is rolex replica unaffected by the position it is in), and 20 points for perfect compensation for effects of temperature. There are a lot of things to consider as far as watches are concerned, and of course, one can never get everything right. For example, while a movement can be rolex replica adjusted to run at a nearly perfect rate in one position, this setting would greatly upset the rate in other positions. It is a game of rolex replica getting the balance of all performance-figures just right, from the torque of the mainspring, up to the moment of inertia of the balance wheel, and the length of the balance spring.
