Agree with the others, really nice textures make this. - Najinsky

It reminds me in a way of the coal furnace we had in our cellar at home when I was a kid. I guess we threw coal into it the same way the locomotive engine driver did. There was also some kind of a contraption to control the amount of air those holes would let through so you could bank the fire or let it roar. Wall thermostats are so much easier, aren't they?

Rust never let's us down, does it...? :)
Excellent take.

I can almost feel the texture in this. Good work, Cat! ~Sharon

Thanks CJ, Mary Anne and Alex!! I am glad that it has come out good.
Mary Anne, its the hatch of the boiler furnace they used to have in earlier steam locomotive engines... This is the view the locomotive engine driver would get before he opens the door and shoves in fresh coal into the glowing hot amber/fire inside.

Rust is a nice addition done by time.

Even though the processing is quite heavy here, it results in a beautiful image with a lot of texture.

Very nice, Cat. Do you know what this furnace was used for?
