Hello All! I’ve been wanting to create a repro of this house since I first ordered Pete’s catalogs several years ago and am finally going to give it a shot. There appear to be a handful of representations of this style including the May 2000 HOM and also in Pete’s ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ post that can be found here:

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1921

Anyway, I will post photos along the way. Pete has provided some helpful photos and products!

Thx!

John

Making some progress on build. Finishes are always hard for me. I usually try different techniques and products until I find what I’m looking for.
