All the curved beams were custom glulams made by a company in the upper midwest .Worked the beams with a 16 and 10 inch makita beam saws . All beam ,rafter and lookout scroll work was done with a Festool Trion jigsaw..........R.I.P.
The interior radius trim was cut with a router with a long trammel arm attached to the router .Glad the house is done , need to post some final pictures.

Was just wondering, cuz it looks like it could be in the mountainous parts of Scandinavia. It's a really beautiful house! Best regards: A. P.S.: looking forward to more interior pictures!

Beautiful work, Joe, and what an amazing location. Do you live close to the site, or did you have to find accommodation nearby?

Beautiful work, Joe, and what an amazing location. Do you live close to the site, or did you have to find accommodation nearby? Live 4.5 miles from this house build , in a full year of time for the complete build i walked,skied and rode a bike to work and even paddled a canoe back to town on the river .Great clients and fantastic architect ,the area has been "discovered" and is changing very quickly .

The main garage doors were unfinished plywood panels with western red cedar overlays . The small doors into the storage loft above were made onsite ,dominos and glue were used in the construction .

Interesting. Do you mind giving a bit more detail on how you build them? (The garage doors, not the others)

Interesting. Do you mind giving a bit more detail on how you build them? (The garage doors, not the others) A garage door company set the unfinished panels in a heavy duty track system .Well acclimated t&g was applied vertical with polyurethane glue ,the grain was maintained in each board full height with overlapping bevel bottom to top . Started applying the t&g in the center and worked out to the edge . A overlay 1x cedar was applied on top of the t&g to give the rail and stile look, the wide center stile has a "quirk cut" to look like two doors .Very labor intensive applying all the wood in place .Makes for really heavy doors ,upgraded track is mandatory!

Thanks Joe. Need to make a pair of hinged doors, for my home workshop, might use that technique.

I've given your photos a good look now, Joe, and I have to write that I'm really glad to see that there's another "timber builder" who's making good use of Makita's TF tools. Mafell makes some very fine TF tools -- no doubt about it -- but so does Makita. If you have a minute or two, take a look at some of the tools featured in the TF and P&B Tools thread to see what I mean. Great work, Joe!
