This is the kiln shed I built with Shannon Elder back in the '80's on Claradan Farm. I love stone and wood. We collected the stone from all over...mostly along the edges of farm fields, poking through the underbrush with sticks. We called it divining for rock.
Detail: This bit is made of granite cobblestones from the streets of Fredericksburg. They were probably ballast from English ships. I brought the red sandstone back from a trip out west.

I'd heard talk about that farm, though I never saw it. Nice combination of stone and wood.
