August 15: The Green Branch

Scott holds the ladder as Erik climbs up with a live Douglas fir bough



Erik and I admire the beautiful barn framing.

It's an ancient tradition to attach a green branch to the highest point of the completed timber frame. This ritual brings good luck and fortune to the structure, to the owners, and to those who have worked so hard on the project.
