IMG_1391.JPG (23252 bytes) Not very exciting from the outside.
IMG_1393.JPG (26186 bytes) Even a little further back does not help much.
IMG_1399.JPG (17114 bytes) Ok, it sets on a nice little privet lake in the rolling hills in central Missouri.
IMG_1395.JPG (41630 bytes) Even has a nice little man-made water fall along the drive in.
IMG_1388.JPG (20262 bytes) Only when you get inside that you get the idea this is just not another cabin by a pond.
IMG_1382.JPG (15250 bytes) There was a name for this but I forgot.  The beams are of white oak but the center post is hickory.
IMG_1384.JPG (21046 bytes) Our contribution was small in the overall scheme of things.  We supplied the walnut for the knees. 
IMG_1381.JPG (24623 bytes) Corner detail in the loft area.  Jerry Nevins of Woodhinge leaves the pegs stick out unless the customer wants them trimmed. 
IMG_1386.JPG (21665 bytes) I'd have to scratch all the hair out of my head and someone else's too to figure out how all this fits together. 
IMG_1387.JPG (25346 bytes) They even replicated circle saw marks on some knee braces.  Hummm???
IMG_1380.JPG (20346 bytes) Here is a little of the stair detail - and another walnut knee. 
IMG_1389.JPG (18060 bytes) Going down.  The walnut we delivered today was going into make banisters for along the loft and the stairs. 
IMG_1390.JPG (16959 bytes) The treads were of hickory and the pins of walnut.  Each tread was uniquely fitted into the risers.  The detail of workmanship was such that I hadn't noted that until Jerry pointed it out.
