This view is from the library overlooking the double-height living room, which opens onto a recessed terrace. One man did a lot of the woodwork - a true artisan who makes exquisite things. His work includes: - The staircase, including spindles and railing. The handrail is made from the same oak tree as the dining room table and benches - The wide-plank pine floors. The boards range in width from 15" to 22" - The armoires and some other furniture
