Thank You Sir for sharing this bit of your talent and even sweat as you created this work of art. 8)

Fantastic article! I enjoyed the write up, you are very articulate in your responses. Though the comment about love where the dogs were listed before the wife....

:D! I am really happy you take the time to share your skills here and help those that ask about your approaches or the products you use, some would hold those as trade secrets or not take the time our of their schedule to respond. You are a wonder WOC!

I hope things work out with your Kodiak dreams.

Yup, my beloved "wife-instein" caught that comment also and it will be changed in the final edit. There will also be more about the actual construction tech including the use of carbon fiber internally. WOC

Thanks guys, all of you, for the kind comments! Dealing with the wood is one thing; but dealing with all of the architects, designers, etc. actually is an even more challenging job. The museum work had half a dozen folks involved, whereas the NNRH build took place over literally years with 2 dozen people involved; inspections, reports, samples, more samples, more shades of brown etc. etc.
I like showing off my work to a group of peers of the caliber of FF.
Cheers

Dang, I think I have been elevated from .22rf up a ways. Have enjoyed your work, it gives a goal for my small projects. Well done, sir, well done.

You sure do know how to put a shine on that crap! ;)

Enjoyed seeing it!!!

Speaking of shirts, I was looking for a cap online that says I'm Vaccinated. While looking for that, a t-shirt I liked showed up. It said:

Even after this virus is over, I want some of you to stay away from me.

Crab butts are very hard to find,,,,but tomorrow night for dinner we will be celebrating with crab spaghetti.Our deal/offer in Kodiak was signed and accepted this afternoon. Time to start bringing the dream to reality. Yahoo!!!

trimguy · May 17, 2021, 08:36:26 PM

Congratulations on your deal going through !!

Jeff · May 17, 2021, 08:53:44 PM

It'll feel different next time. It'll be home now when you are there.

tule peak timber · May 17, 2021, 09:08:30 PM

8)Home is where the heart is. I just didn't find it in Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming. I had some really hard fought growth experiences in Alaska years ago long-line fishing .
The people that I met in Kodiak seemed to blend seamlessly with my rather different way of thinking. Kodiak is a fishing town. It will be a lot of fun planning what to do with raw land (again) and sort of the end of the trip for my wife and I. Can't wait!

Congratulations, on a fine article, awsome work and a new dream unfolding. Thanks for sharing it.

Congratulations for sure on your new place 👍

samandothers · May 18, 2021, 11:08:47 AM

Man, I am happy for you! That is exciting! Sounds like a good reason for another thread on your journey.... with pictures of course!

tule peak timber · May 18, 2021, 09:48:48 PM

Thanks guys for the kind words. It's going to be a fun time planning something special on our little piece of the rock.
On another note I've attached a short video from my client, received this afternoon, of the NNRH curved wall as it is nearing completion.NNRH wall video May1821 - YouTube

Jeff · May 18, 2021, 10:16:14 PM

Its set as private. Dont make me post one of mine as intermission ;)

tule peak timber · May 19, 2021, 07:57:58 AM

Sorry about that.When I hit preview prior to posting the video ran just fine.Is it something I am doing here on FF ?

doc henderson · May 19, 2021, 08:01:12 AM

I am sure it feels good to finally get some of the big ones done, and revel in it for a few seconds, before starting the next big one. It all looks great.

tule peak timber · May 19, 2021, 08:45:51 AM

Doc, I wish it was done! I am literally still working for these guys........

tule peak timber · May 19, 2021, 02:41:25 PM

Meanwhile Tony and AJ are whacking up some fattys today as Lily catches some shade.

Nebraska · May 19, 2021, 04:22:58 PM

Fattys is a very appropriate term for those. They would make all my equipment cringe in fear.

doc henderson · May 19, 2021, 05:50:54 PM

that dog has no trust issues. great. our German Shepard does not move as we step over and around. :D

tule peak timber · May 19, 2021, 07:06:21 PM

The secret to big logs and small equipment is somebody younger and stronger pushing the equipment. I'm losing AJ next week as he goes off to become a fireman, so I wish him well and he is always welcome to return. As far as the trusting dog, we kind of sleep in a giant pile at night with me at the bottom and I'm not even sure if it's legal in 49 out of 50 states! We wait hand and foot on our kids and just love them to death. All 5 came to the ranch by their choice. We could start with the dog pics....but that will NEVER end!
In the oak log pic, Tony is standing in the background and you can barely see him after the opening cut. He is over 6'3 or 4. We had to trim everywhere to squeeze it into the mill. More pics tomorrow. Nice looking oak log inside.
