Open porch,Mamble
Hand carved jowled posts, a curved front eaves beam and curved queen posts.
What did we build?
This open porch was made for a home in the village of Mamble. It is a traditional frame with three details that give it its character.
The posts are jowled: hand carved so they flare out at the head, which gives the joint more timber to work with and makes the posts look as sturdy as they are. Across the front runs a curved eaves beam, which shelters the doorway and softens the outline of the roof. Above it, a pair of curved queen posts fill the gable.
The result is a porch that welcomes guests to the door and gives the owners somewhere sheltered to stand with a morning coffee.
