Log cabin

[ezdays]

Have you considered using basswood? It doesn't have the fuzzies like balsa does.
In regards to: "has driven me two steps closer to hitting the bottle."
Remember NO working during drinking hours!

I kind of like the roughness of the balsa, plus it'll take stain easier. I knocked over a bottle of JD and it soaked it right up. Gave it that old Tennessee log cabin look.

Here's some shots of my first full course plus the inside first floor.
