Glad to hear you got to go ahead for it. I'm hoping they're okay with you bloging it as I would like to follow along.

I haven't heard a definitive answer yet in regards to blogging, however I don't think it will be a problem.

I am waiting for the first purchase order to be produced so that the ball can get rolling. Looks like it could happen by the end of this week.

The logs I will look at are 40' long and up to 4' thick at the butt end!

Nice. If you have any spare off cuts let me know

[Chris Hall]

Purchase order was issued today, and the ball is finally rolling!!

I've booked a ticket to Oregon for next week and will be going to check out the logs. I'm buying a shaper too!

It's actually happening!



(can you tell I'm more than a little excited? )

Congratulations Chris!
I couldn't be more happy for you. Will you be able to blog about it?

Let's see those logs...

[Chris Hall]

Blogging is now enabled...

[kakashi]

Cool!

Chris, is it true?

Has your chance to make a complex truly authentic Japanese structure been cruelly scuttled again?

[Chris Hall]

Well, a kabukimon is a totally authentic piece of Japanese architecture, but it is a poor design in light of the fact that the wood takes a beating exposed to the weather and thus they don't last very long. So, I'm not especially enthused abut building one, but I'm glad to have work at the same time....
