The mixture of stone, and log, and timber-frame is an unbeatable combination.

It’s so good it’s almost overwhelming.

I guess there is nothing wrong with being overwhelmed with the home one lives in is it?

Notice here the technique we adapted for completing the walls in the timber-frame area. Instead of using stress skin panels, attached to the outside of the frame, here we elected to fill in between the timbers with modern “stick framing”.

On this frame, only about two inches of depth would be seen of the timbers on the inside… the rest of these huge framing members would be buried within the wall.
