Uncle Wiljo's Barn Wood

Three years ago Jimmy and I were able to retrieve, with permission, some of the wood from the Kalenius Barn at the end of Aho Road. Uncle "Bill" and Auntie Ailie lived there, and built the barn sometime around 1910.  I loved that farm, and have very fond memories of many childhood visits there.

Long story short, the wood has been waiting for a purpose. It's quite deteriorated, and there really isn't much to work with. The idea came to me to make a gate for the Apple Orchard. It is the first official project to come out of the workshop!  I was very lucky to have a supervisor too.
