Harvesting local Hinoki for Interior Furnishings

Apologies for the long delay in posting to the blog! I have been doing a lot around the house and community, including harvesting planks from felled Hinoki (Japanese cypress trees). Here is a shot of a chainsaw frame being pushed through a felled log in order to create the planks.

More updates coming soon!

  1. Hi -Great plans for your carbon neutral house. But have just realized you have finished or almost finished. I was going to comment to suggest the addition of some green (living) roof area(s) - if any area is free and not too steep. We completed a low impact house in Shiga 3 yrs ago and have a number of green rooves on small outbuildings - but on the main house as that space is used for solar panels. If interested, our build features and performance etc are here https://ecohouse66.wordpress.com Will be interested to explore your site more - Cheers - Iain
