hmmm. i think i'll put a shim up top then. and make it a feature. a black black ash (all dark heartwood) came down 2 days ago and this would be a nice chance to play with it. i'm going with transparency.
the post is at the front of the building, in the change room, and is 9X9 spruce jowelled down to 9X7 below the cross beam. that's really the limiting design factor - if i do something below the joint both front posts have to be changed, and there's not a lot of roomabove the joint to play with.
the benches will be built in in the hot room (cedar sawn boards and 4X4 girts) and the change room (a very heavy 32X10 white pine plank).
sauna party labour day weekend!!!11 for all the workers. itinerants especially welcome. pm for party coordinates. there will be axe throwing also.
