I suspect the top pic is papered, the bottom pic some kind of textured 'paint'. As soon as you cut away the over-filled polyfilla you'll see for sure. In my pic above, the obvious big lumps are the wood chips buried in anaglypta paper, under several layers of paint, the very very fine markings you see in between is the roller texture. To give a sense of scale, the circled area is slightly larger than two 1p pieces side by side. | |

I wish I could invite you over to take a closer look :) | |
