Healdsburg, CA

As another elegant solution to garden gates when privacy is important. Almost identical to the garden gate #29 and #30, but with only one horizontal mid-rail. As a double or single Garden Gate.

The vast majority of our Garden Gate styles #31 and #29 are drawn to Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean architectures. Most often they are accompanied with various hinges straps and clavos. On the opposite side of these Garden Gates in Healdsburg, California, are a pair of Rocky Mountain strap hinges.

Tiburon, CA

Just beyond the rise, one of Charles’ favorite bay area landscapes. A rare level grade out the back door to an expanse of about 60 yards, bordered by an infinity pool aligned to a view of Tiburon Bay and the San Francisco skyline. In the nestled hills of Tiburon, a level backyard landscape is a rare treat. We’ll look to add a photo from that vantage in the coming months.

How do I build a wood gate?

Sloppy procedure.

The top arching rails are roughed out on the bandsaw and evened out with a hand plane.

The underside of the arch is approached with a spokeshave.

Thhe collection of Ben’s spokeshaves aligned vertically on the left side of the center panel. To their right the drawknives, working with the same principle of pulling the blade toward you. The top right drawknife Charles inherited from his step-father, who inherited it from his father, who inherited it from his father, C.E. Glenn of Champaign, IL. back when Teddy Roosevelt was a rising star in the Albany, NY legislature.

Large wooden gates with arching top rails receive the added strength of what’s called a Slip Joint. Ben shown preparing the tenon.

The top rail fitted prior to scribing the arch. The middle rail showing the thru-tenon.

The end result. A gate #31 that will never sag.
