The Kitchen Takes Shape

Terry, Barry, and Smiley (aka: John) took a break from door making in order to create the cabinetry.  They are building the interior box of regular new cabinet-grade birch and then facing the visible areas with a slice of barn wood.  The beautiful farm sink is in place by the window.  With that view, dish washing is sure to be a pleasure!  They found the bottom log to be 3/8" too wide for the last cabinet on that wall.  Barry borrowed Mike's chainsaw and took care of it.  I was worried when he applied the blade to the logs, but Terry assured me he'd done chainsaw carvings and was a whiz with one.  Sure enough, just enough of the log was removed allowing the cabinet to slide perfectly into place. 
Then there was the unveiling of a surprise they brought me...using a photo I had given them, they fabricated a hammered copper and steel vent hood cover.  It is beautiful!  These three are from Mississippi and knew they'd not be able to complete the installation of all the cabinets in one day so they brought camping gear and camped in the cabin.  Cooking pork chops and 5# of potatoes, they ate royally and then pulled out their instruments, playing into the night on the porch.
