Jamie, like ive said before
youve got some serious ancient skills

thats incredible,looks like all natural wrappings too  :o
you must have alot of time put into thatthing so far,with all the collecting of materials and processing and such

Thanks guys, tim pealing everything sucks. More time is involved in pealing the poles than putting the frame together.

Killer Jamie! Can't wait to see this one finished, pretty soon you're going to have a whole village there! Have you thought about doing one with stone tools? I know how much work it is with modern tools, stone would take a lot of time I guess unless you had a lot of help like they did back then. How is the first one you built holding up? Mine is doing fairly well for no more time than I have been able to spend at it this year. It has been built for two years now.
