Our dad designed the spiral staircase for this fireplace, hand cutting each step with a band saw borrowed from the local Boy Scouts camp. Local woodworker Pat Ladd created the manzanita railing, sourced nearby with permit. Stonework by local Charlie Clayton. All pine and stones sourced from our property where the lodge now resides. Constructed masterfully from a blend of skill, labor, and love.
