Detail shot of the Ash post with brick walls on either side. The horizontal steel band hides a chase way for the electrical.

Pool fence going in – It is made of 1″x2″ tubing with T&G cedar infill. You can also see the galvanized steel brackets which hold the beams above on a 45 degree angle.

My mom wanted the gate to be hidden – can you see it?

The fence uses 3 different sizes of material for pickets. 3″ x .25″ , 2.5″ x .375″ and 2″ x .5″

This is the frame of the railing before the glass and copper are installed.

This is their cookstove. I built the firewood box which doubles as a shelf and mounted the slab of limestone to increase the work surface and thermal mass. I also built the brick wall behind with the incorporated fieldstone.

All along the back of the kitchen runs a shelf for pots and dishes. It is a steel frame with wood on top. It supports the curved steel rangehood over the stove, has an integrated pot rack and an LED strip running the entire length.

Closeup of the range hood. The front panel was a second from the mill because it has a wrinkle in it. I buffed it with a wire wheel to enhance the effect.

This is my parents house. My parents designed the place and my dad and I cut most of the timbers on the property. The timber framing and Straw-Clay walls were done by Joshua Thornton and his crew (Thor’s Hammer).
