Just finished up this jowl-posted garden room. The Jowl post is a traditional connection between the main posts, wall plates and tie beams. Typically the timber is carefully selected to utilise the flare of the timber grain within the top of post.

Part of the 2700linear mts (or for the imperial folk,1.7 miles)of Oak rain screen that I have cut this week,to be used on a code 6 new build in Norfolk, the same architect( the very talented, Wilf Meynell, of Studio Bark) as when I fleetingly appeared on the C4 Grand Designs programme cutting cedar cladding that featured a similar spec build.
Just got to air dry it and machine it now!!!!!!!🤔. I think thats going to annoy the neighbours a little.😏

One of a pair of elm bookcases for a local client who had the trees converted, dried the timber himself and then I made these for him....good job he was a patient man.... I think the machined boards were in the wk/shop for best part of a year😴.....my view is now that if it cannot be done with a chainsaw I am not really interested.....
