640 Feet of Pine


Leaning against the garage is 640 feet of clear sugar pine trim (Pinus lambertiana) conditioned with Benite and then stained. We picked this up through our friends over at Woodcrafters, which is perhaps the finest finish carpentry supply shop in Portland. We chose the sugar pine because it looks good with the bamboo floors and maple cabinets. Something we didn't know when we picked it out is that it's native to Oregon, Washington and Northern California, and was likely harvested locally.

In the foreground, I think Rachael is collecting the nonferrous metal scraps the magnetic broom wouldn't pick up.
