    It's absolutely beautiful, Ken! I'm having serious jealous feelings. Maybe in my next house...

      Nice work, Ken. Your oven was the one that inspired me to believe I could do this. I even followed your tried and true string method to good results. I curved and cantilevered a landing and am framing a gabled house. I appreciate your example.

                Thanks guys. I really couldn't have done this (or even started) without the help of this community!

                Uhhmm, well... I need to put some little trim pieces on the 6x6's where they go into the counter tops. And we will ALWAYS be collecting decorations on our travels to adorn the walls with.

                    Sure! It's Sikkens Cetol DEK finish:

                    It's a bit pricey but leaves a nice, furniture-like finish.

                      Wow Ken - that was pulled out of the vault. I'm waiting for someone to ask Paul a question. Any chance of you flying out west for the open house?

                          Hi Ken,
                          If I read your image dates correctly, this should be your third summer with the pergola up. I am building one along side my wfo as well, and was wondering what type of wood you used for your beams and lattice work (the posts look like pressure treated lumber)? Also, how has the wood held up?
                          Thanks,
                          gene

                            Hi Gene,

                            All the wood is pressure treated pine. I used Kiln Dried After Treatment (KDAT) wood which is a little more pricy but I was able to put on the finish prior to construction. For the finish I used Sikkens Cetol Deck. It's holding up great.

                            Good luck with your project!!

                              Thanks Ken, I appreciate the info. I'm going to have to look around for the KDAT...not sure we have that here.

                                Hey Ken, in your roof design what did you do with the soffet area between your roof joists? I know the joists rest on the vertical wall framing but how did you attach them and close them up so birds and bees don't fly in and nest near the dome?
