With under three weeks of production to go, the crew at Santa Cruz Timber Frames is working briskly. This model sits outside, amidst the workers, serving as a reference tool for planning the assembly of the Hay Barn. The photographs below also show a series of tenon templates, which are used to make sure each mortise is perfectly consistent.
