ALC II, Inc Timber Framing

You can still find that little treasure in the lumber yard if you look. This was a 12 foot CVG 2x8 graded at Select Structural. It probably would have made J grade if not for the small amount of ring shake on the backside edge...
Sanded to 400 grit, this will be used above a window left exposed and oiled.

Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota.
The largest sculpture in the world, Crazy Horse Memorial, is located about five miles north of Custer and seventeen miles from Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
It all began in 1939 when Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear asked sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski to carve a memorial to the spirit of Lakota leader Chief Crazy Horse and his culture.
“The red man has great heroes, also,” Chief Standing Bear said.

Recycled Douglas Fir post, Purple Heart knee brace, Honduras Mahogany beam...
This will be a support post for a floor, this particular knee brace is to resist sideways thrust from the adjoining hammer beam.

That Bubinga knee brace oiled and in place.

Knee braces and timbers....

Hand cut beams and bubinga curved knee braces... it is good to be timber framing again even if it is a hybrid.

Interesting information

Love this idea... who wants to start cutting tires apart? Anyone? LOL 😆 🤣

I made this knee brace around 27 years ago as a prototype with my dad. Been saving it for something... all this time. Finally had a use! Cleaning it up I found my dad's handwritten notes on it. I saved them, they will be on the brace as long as it supports the shop.

Working on the shop...
Had this Knee brace prototype made 25 plus years ago for a job on Bainbridge Island. We ended up not using it.
I kept it all these years...
Installed it yesterday and as I was cleaning it up, I found my fathers notes written upon it. I did not sand them off, they will be there to remind me of him.
Life is a journey, enjoy the trip and keep moving forward

Yep, I'm still working with wood.... LOL

After 2 years, I am reassembling my small timber frame at my home.

I have gotten back into milling some timber with a chain saw for personal projects. I truly love where I live...

This table! Wow
