The log cabin project is coming to a close. Now for the little details to complete the project. These photos are of the second floor. Originally we were going to close off the upstairs into two areas. I decided to leave it as you see it now. This design will allow for better lighting and ventilation.
Take a look at the floor in each of these photos. Notice that none of the boards are of the same width. Most likely this floor was cut from one tree, the widest board being from the center of the tree.
Construction of window seen in photo:
- white oak
- true single light, single pane
- wavy glass
- mortise and tenon ( see Wikipedia entry "mortise and tenon" )
- boiled linseed will be applied for protection
where did you say you got the windows done? Someone in St. Louis?
