Scott built this timber frame post and beam studio for his wife.    He cut down the trees on his property and milled the lumber with a portable sawmill.  He hand hewn the timbers and used the traditional and very labor intensive method of Timber Joinery whereby wood beams are joined by shaping the adjoining wood members to interlock using mortise and tenon joinery.  The mated joints are restrained by inserting wooden pegs into holes bored through the interlocked beams.
