Martha's Vineyard locust deck, 2010
We cut black locust in Torrington and ran truckloads of band-milled planks and posts in-the-round out to the island for several years before retrofitting.

Bantam Lake Wall - Stairs - Terrace - Porch
Edge of stairway bench is just visible to the Left. Terrace 17' x 12', mostly large pieces. Day of completion, Spring 2010. A month later this scene was green lawn and densely planted perennials and groundcovers. We dressed the wall by leaning an old, curved-spoke high age of industry iron wheel and a 19th c. grindstone up against either side.
