Any of you who are following our blog have seen the wonderful spiral stairway under construction in our Juneau Alaska project.  We as a final treat, check out the photos of the finished product!  The stairway was built on site around a huge spruce log that was harvested on the building site to make room for the new home.  Timber frame inside and out was provided by New Energy Works.  They fabricated the frame in McMinnville Oregon and packed everything into a container and shipped it up to Juneau.  The timber framers even provided a crew to erect the frame on site.  Everything had to fit just right and the owners could not be more pleased with the result.

If you have been following my blog, you have already seen the huge spruce log that makes up the center of the spiral staircase in our project in Juneau Alaska.  I am posting an update because the progress is so exciting that I really want to share it with everyone.  As can been seen from the photos, the wood treads have now been added but the railings have yet to be fabricated and installed.  Each wood tread is attached into the spruce log and gracefully cantilevers out like a series of tree branches.  The end result is pretty breath taking especially when seen from above.
