John Buday's perfectly reasonable career as a residential carpenter starting in the late 1970s became significantly sidetracked after a chance encounter with timber framing, in the person of one Mark Witter, which led to participation in a2002 Guild project in Sechelt, British Columbia. Later, in 2006, came the Guild project for the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial for which John was the local hero. Timber framing remains an occupation and preoccupation. Currently John is most preoccupied with the design of his own house in Port Townsend, Washington.
