This project near Tenino, Washington involved the reconstruction of a historic, dovetail, hand-hewn, timber package, relocated from another site approximately 40 miles away.  Although in generally good condition, many of the dovetail ends had broken away or had suffered significant rot damage and required replacement.  Replaced ends were mortised-in to the existing logs to increase their strength.  The complete set of the package took approximately three weeks, including repairs.  (Scroll down for picture gallery)
