Field Report: The West Coast Team on a raising in Corvallis Oregon. Raising local spirits as much as timbers, one onlooker described the scene - "Topping off the timber frame with a “whetting bush” is a practice that dates back to Medieval times... a symbol of finishing a job well done, community, and good luck for the new owners. Thank you, timber framers from New Energy Works Timberframers And thanks College Hill Homes for the work  this day."
