The Mud and Wood House
All of the timber in the Mud and Wood House started out as windfall (storm-blown) trees in local forests and fields. The trees were carefully removed from where they lay, milled to a variety of thicknesses (e.g. 4" for door frames, 2" for kitchen counter tops, 1" for door leafs), and stacked on site to air-dry for up to 3 years. This kitchen was made from elm, sourced about 8 miles from the site. The kitchen is located on the west side of the house to take advantage of the stunning sunsets while preparing the evening meal.
