This project was done in 1999. The project was a community center just outside of Veksø, Denmark. The weather was good, the people very nice and hospitable, the area beautiful and the project interesting. A good time was had by all.

This project was run by Mikkel Johansen. He invited American timber framers to come to Denmark and help. The walls of this building are infilled with a mixture of wood chips, straw and clay. The walls were then plastered over.

Arch fabrication. Each arch was made of three layers of boards that were pegged together.

Preparing for raising arches into place.

Putting in temporary bracing for the arches.

Intrepid Danish and American timber framers partaking of a Danish meal.

The structure underneath.

Wedged Dutch tenon.

A look from underneath with American timber framer Dave Dauerty.

The last arch going in.
