This is a boat house we built here in Bonner, MT, and shipped to Ely, MN. The timber structure is made of 8x12 solid reclaimed cedar. The timbers were attained from huge logs originally used in logging operations in Washington to bridge rivers -- acting as actual bridge structures.
The corners of the boat house are held together with dove-tail joinery. We built the trusses from reclaimed douglas fir obtained from deconstruction projects in Montana.
We also built all the doors for the structure. We constructed them from solid vertical grain reclaimed cedar also obtained from the Washington logging operation.
I can safely say that a solid cedar structure like this has rarely been attempted. It was a unique and great opportunity and certainly turns a lot of heads!
