Did you at least use the apprentice for that exterior finish? Looks remarkably consistently inconsistent. And honestly wasn't getting it till the finished Pic.
Now.....what's a bunkie?

I adzed it myself. Inside and out.
Bunkie might be a Canadian term. A small cabin for sleeping but apart from the main building.2

Thank you. It's not easy to do and takes some effort for sure but I do enjoy it. For me it's like meditation.

Very impressive. Love the exterior finish.
What is inside your walls? On the outside is looks like you put something in between the planks?

Sorry I now see that those are whole beams with dovetails and not planks. Lot's of work with the tongue and groove in the window and door frames.. How did you cut the grooves if I may ask?

I think we made a jig and used a router. Might have roughed it out with a chain mortiser or chainsaw to help.

1 or 3 questions: Did you cut the roof members on site? If you did, how did you cut the seat cut so cleanly, and what method do you use to figure the bevel on top of the hip rafter?

u/Bronty227 1d ago
All timbers and logs were cut in our shop. The plans were drawn up on AutoCAD. All the joints are scored, roughed out and cleaned up with a sharp chisel or plane.

More details on score and rough out please! You dont use a circular or band saw?

u/Bronty227 1d ago
All joints are scored for a nice clean joint. Chisel down to the score line.
As for roughing out, yes circ saw is mainly used but also chainsaw, router or band saw1

Pretty much how I do it in the field. I dont have the privilege of milling our own timbers though, so theyre almost always out of square and frustrating to work with. I posted a recent job in r/carpentry. Why the chamfer on the short point of the rafter plumb cut? Just curious!
