The design is by Bill Banford. The client had a new home that needed an outdoor entertaining area. She requested a deck and screened in gazebo. The design team created a custom gazebo with intricate details while maximizing the space without taking too much away from the yard. They also did not want a standard deck so we gave them a shaped deck with ample space to entertain.

these are some very twisty, old beech beams from a WNY barn. They were cut in the late 1800s and may have been a few hundred years old when the trees were cut. these monsters are extremely heavy, very naily, twisty, covered in whitewash...but if one looks deeper there is beautiful wood.
Admittedly this can be a difficult task, especially with my shop equipment, which is at the edge of what it can do. But old barn woods can produce spectacular results. It's never clear wood, but knotty and spalted, with nail holes and checks and marks from its past use in agriculture. I personally like a cleaner look (as oppossed to the full on rustic look) but with hints of its reused nature in the imperfections and the dramatic grains.
I'm a champion of the imperfection in all areas of life and old wood is part of that. I love the fact that I'm reusing this national treasure....the primeval old-growth forests, hopefully in pieces that will be heirlooms. Each piece is unique. Each piece of wood has its own personality. Each piece behaves differently...sometimes difficultly....but in the end each person's carpentry project is a one-of-kind piece, just like all of us.
These will be a side table for a customer...after I wrestle them through cycles of joining, sawing and planing.
