Wow..and, Wow...I realized while looking at these, that I had my mouth hanging open....incredible work, these are Art as well as Function ~ thank you for sharing these!
As a barn lover, Oregon resident and bookstore owner that has a lot of books on Barns. I would sure love for you to publish a book soon on the Oregon Barns! I can’t wait to see what you do with it. These are great photos.
When I lived in rural Cape Breton I knew a fellow who lived at the edge of the cliff at the northern tip of Cape Breton. He built a replica of Joshua Slocum's sailboat "The Spray" which Slocum sailed around the world at the end of the 19th century. Fred Lawrence had to make a building in which to build his boat and he ended up making a large, arch shaped shed using laminated 1x4s. But they were laminated in the opposite way from your description here. He made a jig and would laminate up half a dozen 1x4s in a curve. He made a bunch of these and then join them together to make his large, post-free workspace to build his boat inside. Quite the project! I attended he and his wife Margaret's wedding. They got married after they had been together for 18 years and the ceremony was conducted on the boat with the audience watching from the dock. Apparently sailors don't wear rings because it's dangerous. So, in lieu of a ring, Fred and Margaret, working together, spliced a short piece of rope together into a circle. When they were done they tested it by pulling on it. We on shore all held our breath imagining what bad juju would come if the splice didn't hold 😂😂❤️
I was a Geography major at the University of Akron in the mid 70s. The chairman of the Department had a major interest in barns and wrote at least one book about them. His name was Allen Noble.

Yes, yes....and thank you. I love everything you write, photograph, build....all of it.

Have you ever checked out the barns up in The Palouse on the Washington/Idaho border? They are beautiful.
