These are traditional housed stringers in white ash for the House in the Woods. The stairs are pre-assembled as a unit, making a squeak-free, beam-like unit that will last for centuries. Treads are in cherry, risers and stringers in ash.
I just attended the grand opening of Menck Window, the first and only European manufacturer of tilt turn windows in the US. Fortunately, they're just an hour away from us, and we hope to use them on some of our upcoming projects. I loved this cross-section of their direct glazing system (which can also be capped with wood). I can't wait to use this amazing system to direct glaze over a timber frame.
We just had our Art Studio project featured in an article on Houzz:
A shop drawing of a timber frame post. It shows all of the relevant joinery and locations on all 4 sides of the timber.
We cut and pre-assembled a small hipped roof with scissor trusses in our shop.

You can see the conventional framing, the exterior wall foam and strapping, and the beginning of the upper metal siding.
You can see our amazing sawyer, Chip (that is really his name) cutting maple, cherry, and pine off of the property.
A series of additions to a cabin in the woods. See here for finished photos.
The old school approach to stair handrails that not only curve, but twist.
