I've always had a curious sense of appreciation for well executed masonry projects.  Handcrafted masonry is a statement of commitment and patience, an honoring of the endless cycles of time and the power of permanence in the landscape.  So it is that masonry projects that strive to optimize fuel efficiency and simplicity of design will be included here.  If space on the site permits, I'd like to include some Photo Tours of wood-fired super efficient masonry furnaces and heaters too some time.  In the meantime, enjoy a tour of this project I completed in 1998.
