I wonder if timber frame members have to have grade markings and if that is what they are classified as, not to mention what is the species?I wonder if the building inspector found the grade stamp on those slabs. I like
I'd guess either a large capacity bandsaw mill, or you position the log so that the trunk section sits at an angle on the bedwonder how they cut the slabs with that width on the limbs
You've got to take into account, it's Tennessee. They do things different there......The slabs are nice!
I’m surprised by the vinyl siding though—it seems to draw the whole look down.
