Peter Schmidt is a logger and an artist who built his first log cabin at the age of 16.
If you notice, the two basalt posts here are kitty-corner. Over each one are the roots of two trees used for beams. The stone is separated from the tree by a steel bracket. Pete says, “The tree and the stone each have a separate identity, each it’s own presence. The steel keeps the two presence is separate so they are each intact and whole.”
