Fancy Rib Work

When carpentry work is as nicely done as this, it is too bad it has to be covered up with an new roof!

Imagine the craftsmen in 1894 bending each of those boards to fit so nicely. It looks like an IYRS [International Yacht Restoration School - Newport] project.

The roofing crew appears to be doing a nice job on this unusual application.
