| Most of the houst will be "stick built" out of 2x4 and 2x6 construction lumber, but the ballroom will be built with a timber frame from Harmony Exchange (2700 Big Hill Rd., Boone, NC). Spectrum Homes has been working with Mark Howell and Dan Keiser (828-264-2314) for the plans and timber pieces we will be using. Erci actually designed the finials from pictures of surviving Tudor era timber frame buildings, and the timbers themselves will be made of Eastern Pine, laminated together, chamfored, and stained dark to look like old oak beams.
