Nice bit of joinery

A house just down the road from me has a quirky porch which I have always admired so whilst working there today I asked the owner if he minded me taking a photo of it to share with some like minded woodworkers. He was quite happy for me to do this and said there were some matching "anchor" trusses in one of the bedrooms which I would probably also like. I hadn't even realised the centre of the porch was meant to represent an anchor but it makes sense as the house is in an idyllic location by the river and the chap likes his boats.

None of it is my work, it was done about 20 years ago when the house was extended, the chap has a real eye for detail and everything in the house has been done to a very high standard.

Quirky porch



and matching anchor trusses, they were made 20 years ago but look 200 years old.

That’s some lovely rustic work, and that central twisted piece really is something, I’m getting the impression that it’s the wood itself that’s twisted.
But the Sewer downpipe looks to have an open end? Must have come around the corner at some time.

............But the Sewer downpipe looks to have an open end? Must have come around the corner at some time.

Most likely Ian given it's an extension but several times I've come across a swept T with a capped end there as a rodding access point. Usually closer to the ground however.
