I watched a good part of it, once you start, you just keep watching. They had some nice hand tools, especially the large slicks. I also liked the shaving horse bench for the drawknife. I always wanted to make one of those for peeling bark off walking sticks. So much quicker with the foot lever. I am not familiar with that type of construction. It looks to be 1600's ish type of method, maybe earlier? The ornate rafter tails were nice. I'll definitely watch the rest. Thanks for putting it up.
A type of timber frame construction. That was a very cool video. I've watched quite a few videos about that construction method. Would have been nice to learn when I was much younger, although it did remind me of my pole barn build. A lot of work and extremely rewarding for the builders.
Awesome video. A house that will last a long time and looks so cozy. I was fascinated by the finishing process on the exposed surfaces so I google it. It is quite interesting. A very different look. What Is The History Of The ‘Shou Sugi Ban’ Charred Wood Treatment?
No, but in one of the descriptions of the process, it mentioned a clear stain. I wondered if it was linseed oil or something similar.
I'll input this, I know when you want to get a finish to stay and penetrate into cedar you need to weather it for awhile. Maybe burning it help speed up the "weathering" process.
