Up on the roof

This was not an early sighting of Santa attempting a roof-climb! This is the roof coming together. 




Not a bad sky for a November afternoon!



As the woodstain dried in, the natural colour and grain in the wood became warmer and more obvious but without much more than a low sheen on the surface. Altogether, the effect was really pleasing. The option I chose was to allow the spruce to be seen rather than cover it with a strong colour. A deep red or green are traditional options for this kind of hut. They look great too, but I didn't want to hide all this great timber when there is a chance to show off the material the hut is constructed from.
