He recovered old barn beams to use as the timbers. From what he says, he is about halfway into notching the beams. All of the beams have been cleaned and sanded. We are presently searching for someone to finish the job for us. We would need that person or people to finish preparing the beams, and either raise the structure or advise us how to raise it. Anyone in the area of Southeastern Indiana -or Southwestern Ohio that could help please contact us. The property on which the cabin will be built is in Brookville, IN, and the beams are at a nearby location.

Contact me at jepeters@flemingc.on.ca Jeff Peters <jepeters@flemingc.on.ca> London, ON Canada - Wednesday, February 27, 2002 at 12:44:18 (EST) I am writing an article for Canadian Home Workshop magazine on traditional framing techniques using green, unseasoned lumber. I'm having great difficulty finding anyone who uses green wood for framing and joinery. I understand the inherent problems with green wood, but I know it can be used properly. For example, when Windsor Castle was renovated after a massive fire in 1992, most of the framing was restored with green framing that forged together after it dried. It's basically the same technique furniture makers use when making Windsor chairs, where the joints pull together as it dries, making one solid joint that cannot be pulled apart. Basically, I'm wondering if: you know of anyone who does this type of work, preferably in Canada; and where I might find more concrete information on it.
