Word or term in question: |
un recodo tallado en la madera |
Context: |
Erik, indiferente a todos, se dirigió al timón arrastrando a la chica tras él, el timonel llevaba demasiadas horas sin reemplazo, normalmente, le hubiera sustituido mucho antes, pero ella lo había distraído. Era raro en él, porque todos sus marineros sabían que, antes de cualquier mujer, estaba su drakkar. Detrás del timón había un recodo tallado en la madera que se podía utilizar como asiento, e hizo que Yvette se sentara allí porque no pensaba dejar que se escapara de su vista ni un momento, después de lo ocurrido. |

The answer of |
a recess carved in the wood
My comment:
or "a nook carved in the wood" but that sounds too large for a wooden boat, maybe.
