http://www.woodwrights.ie/Woodwrights/Green_oak_framing_in_Ireland_news_and_Woodwrights_oak_photos.html I made these two traditionally framed oak garden buildings seven years ago and re-visited recently. The gazebo features a cleft oak balustrade and a roof with rafters which taper toward the apex lightening the look of the framing. The arched pergola is now covered in climbing flowering roses. Both frames have weathered to a lovely silver grey. http://www.woodwrights.ie/Woodwrights/Green_oak_framing_in_Ireland_news_and_Woodwrights_oak_photos.html#0 4230413e-feea-431a-98b5-6f7911fec793 http://www.woodwrights.ie/Woodwrights/Green_oak_framing_in_Ireland_news_and_Woodwrights_oak_photos_files/Media/P1010002/thumb.jpg http://www.woodwrights.ie/Woodwrights/Green_oak_framing_in_Ireland_news_and_Woodwrights_oak_photos_files/Media/P1010002/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Hexagonal gazebo</p></div></div> http://www.woodwrights.ie/Woodwrights/Green_oak_framing_in_Ireland_news_and_Woodwrights_oak_photos.html#1 47ca3f68-00ca-4395-81e3-ec728e137621 http://www.woodwrights.ie/Woodwrights/Green_oak_framing_in_Ireland_news_and_Woodwrights_oak_photos_files/Media/P1010006/thumb.jpg http://www.woodwrights.ie/Woodwrights/Green_oak_framing_in_Ireland_news_and_Woodwrights_oak_photos_files/Media/P1010006/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Gazebo and pergola</p></div></div> http://www.woodwrights.ie/Woodwrights/Green_oak_framing_in_Ireland_news_and_Woodwrights_oak_photos.html#2 eda8140f-0544-4ec6-8ce7-576358ff3ab9 http://www.woodwrights.ie/Woodwrights/Green_oak_framing_in_Ireland_news_and_Woodwrights_oak_photos_files/Media/P1010004/thumb.jpg http://www.woodwrights.ie/Woodwrights/Green_oak_framing_in_Ireland_news_and_Woodwrights_oak_photos_files/Media/P1010004/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Pergola</p></div></div>
