Adding Wooden Beams

I wanted to add details to the attic bedroom ceiling so I added wooden beams. This both added extra interest to the ceiling and also reinforced the roof ready for when I add roof tiles.

I used square wooden doweling which I cut to size and also I wittled to make the wood look worn and old. I stained them to match the wooden floors and glued them in place with wood glue.

Once the beams had dried in place I aged the ceiling around them so they looked like they had been there for centuries.
