  • Waiting on timber from the mill before I can begin the next project, so I'm "helping" @hessbuildingandremodeling with the enclosure carpentry for the next few days. I imagine watching me flounder with a pneumatic nail gun is quite entertaining for them!
  • From within and done. Now, I step aside. After having helped raise this frame yesterday, @hessbuildingandremodeling will take it from here, making this assemblage of sticks into a beautiful and useful building with their wholehearted & exceptional craftsmanship.
  • It stands. A few more photos tomorrow after the scaffolding is down, pegs trimmed, and the floor's swept.
  • 'twill rise in the morrow
  • regeneration: this year's acorn sprout at the fringe of last year's hewing dross.
  • I harvested this American white ash from our farm woods, standing dead, this past spring. Beneath the bark, the galleries and corpse reveal the culprit in the tree's death. However, this tree will live on as a tie-beam in an upcoming framework. #emeraldashborer

  • I try to incorporate wood from the building site into each frame I join. Sometimes it's an entire frame's worth, sometimes it's just a single timber. A few trees had to be cleared to make way for the new building, so this yellow-poplar log will become this frame's token site-harvested timber - A back wall post. Also, the only hardwood and hand-hewn timber, and the final timber no. 202 of 202 total pieces. Nothing peels quite like spring cut yellow-poplar (nor eventually checks like it either). Tomorrow, lines will be snapped and the axe work will commence.
