So far my structure is pretty true to the last sketch I posted. The past couple evenings I have been working on carving the exposed ends of the ridge beam. I thought it would look kind of cool and fun to make the ends look like "native" animals. This is my first attempt at carving with a router (or otherwise)....its a far cry from the skills of others here but fortunately my lack of skill works to make it look more primitive. The far end ridge has a bird: The near end is a croc (not completed yet, I ran out of daylight again before I could cut out his mouth and hit it with a torch).
