Oh, I didn't see glatt snuck in there while I was off looking, because I didn't remember where I found it. 99% of the Cobb house links are on pinterest and you have to sign up. Fuck 'em. Yes the curved and sort of straight timbers on the outside are just casings.

I did the same thing over the windows and doors in my bedroom, to look like peeled log lintels. I found 12 ft beams which had two sawn sides, and two peeled, but they were Sycamore which is too weak for beams. Maybe that's why nobody had used them. Anyway, I sliced off the two peeled sides on the bandsaw, cut to lengths, and screwed to the walls.

It's important to keep in mind you're making something YOU like, and it doesn't matter if I like it or not. You'll get the most benefit from the skills you develop so even if you fail, you win. Yin Yang tables and a desk.

If you know someone who has messed up their life, taken the wrong path and disappointed their sweet old mother, by playing bass,

you could make them look good with a custom axe.
