After the first week, a new crew of timber framing volunteers arrives in Monterey to continue the cutting. The weather holds, no small thing for an extremely wet summer in the Berkshires. 
The Gould Farm sheep barn provides an appropriate workplace; the canted queen post frame built by an Amish crew in 1996 is remarkably similar to the Guild project. 
Ellen Gibson shapes the tenons on the octagonal posts. 
Tim Whitehouse works on the stopped splayed scarf joint with undersquinted butts. 
Tom Miller helps Gould Farm staff members cut some joinery. 
Crew leader Dave Bowman and Daniel Hent (from Holland) try out the two-man crosscut saw.  Robert DiBona, John Coffman and Paul Magann are here probably describing their individual timber framing techniques, certainly not the excellent food provided by Farm. | ||
