Buffalo Boathouse/new construction methods old design???
http://www.wrightsboathouse.org/photos.php This should stir things up. I'm surprised that new construction techniques are being used. I guess code rules.

I'd suggest wood tops
The company we use for wood tops is Craft-Art out of Atlanta. You can send them templates and they will ship. They use "Waterlox" brand tung oil on their tops which has worked well and we have had no customers call with issues on the finish. If you are going to use the top for cutting on (or a cutti...

Russell Barr Willliamson
I finally tracked down a copy of the book on Williamson "Russell Barr Williamson:an architect". It is sad that so few know of Mr. Williamson. Partly due to the fact he didn't keep much of any of his early paperwork. I do belive that some of his drawings are in the Prairie Archive?? Is there an onlin...

If you need any for future repairs etc. you'd better stock up!! I worked for a high end millwork company in the late 80's and I would say that 60 percent of the...
