You know you are walking in to something extraordinary the moment you enter Timberline. There is no other building like it in the world. Newels are the posts at the end of each railing on the stairs. At Timberline they were made from recycled cedar telephone poles. Each newel in the main and south stairways feature a unique carving of a bird and animal of the Pacific Northwest.
Book 1 - The Newels in the series is a collection of my drawings of the newels in the order you would see them starting on the ground floor walking up the stairs.
"The Unique Woodwork at Timberline Lodge"
Book 1 - The Newels
Print size:
6" x 9"
24 pages printed in black and white on cream paper
This book is currently in production and will be available soon.
While working on the first book I put together a series of sketches creating a map so I could figure out where a particular newel was to complete a particular drawing. I found these sketches were so handy I also created a walking tour card of the newels.
The tour card is 18" long card and folds down to a handy 4" x 6" card. Depending on how you open it, one side has a short history of the lodge and the newel posts. The other side presents sketches of the newels in the order they appear in the stairwells starting from the ground floor. Quantities are limited.
