Everyone said I was daft to wire a shop light on a fan, but I wired in all the same, just to show them. It fell onto the carpet. So I wired a second one. That fell onto the carpet. So I wired a third. That caught fire, blew up, then fell onto the carpet. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the brightest ceiling fan in all of England.

I love a picture like this, because I can't really figure out myself what's gone wrong without some more context, but it's so very clear that something has gone terribly wrong.

I think what's happened is a 12th century ship beam repurposed as a 15th century beam in a building has finally given up the ghost despite efforts to keep it alive in previous decades with steel supports being added, so now they've put in a hefty header to just hold it up. This sort of thing isn't that uncommon in the UK, probably elsewhere in europe too. The brits chopped down all their ancient huge oaks by the middle ages, so huge pieces of wood were super valuable and re-used for centuries.

The way it delaminates makes me think it was glue laminated in probably the 20th century at the soonest.

Hmm. It didn't strike me as a laminated beam at first but if it is, the orientation is wrong, laminations should go vertically not horizontally. I think we may just be seeing regular splits along the beam, the wood looks pretty rotten to me, but it is confusing. Those are round headed wire nails, not really old ones, it's got ancient plaster stuck to it, it's quite weird.

Even if that was old wood, why would they have over a dozen boards stacked high like that? And up in the ceiling like that? Seems kinda odd without wider context.

I mean I think it's one huge beam, not a bunch of stacked boards, and it's just coming apart in a visually deceptive way. Here's an example:  The lower beam is separating along parallel lines a bit (I'm referring to the horizontal ones, there's also vertical lines but ignore those), and they're somewhat regular.

Age of sail capital ships used so much wood. HMS Victory's hull used 60 acres worth of oak forest. John Quincy Adams as president set aside a big swath of old growth oak forest in Florida as federally protected. By some definitions it could be called the first government protected nature preserve, but it was less conservation and more strategic reserve. Gotta have a good source of warship building materials in case we get in a shooting war with those old world scoundrels.

Gluelam beams are typically stacked boards that look almost exactly like that. Excessive water damage could have led to it delamination and wood rotting and falling apart. Gluelam  You may have been thinking of microlams or lvls which are laminated vertically.

Yup! OK well maybe it's one of those then, I felt confident at first but less-so now.
