    In the South, the 2nd Empire design in no way caught on as it did in a lot of other locations of the place. This case in point in Oxford, North Carolina dates from 1889, as a plaque on the porch indicates this was to the finish of the 2nd Empire as a dominant architectural fashion. This is the Hundley-White Residence at 208 College Avenue.

    The dwelling stands out for two good reasons: it is 2nd Empire in a smaller Southern town and it is pink. The brick home is basically rectangular with two tales, the next becoming the marginally concave mansard roof. There seems to be a basement as properly. The shingling is an alternation of pentagonal and brick-patterned material (I really don’t know if slate is made use of on this house). No iron crestings are existing. The tower, also with concave slope, is centrally positioned in the façade, soaring from the entrance to its height. Dormers jut from the mansard roof and from the tower the windows are of a complete arch with steeply pitched hoods. The home windows on the initially amount are considerably taller than individuals on the roof spot. The cornice is not bracketed but is composed of a vertical sample of gray. The 4 chimneys, all with metal caps, are put at either facet of the dwelling. The porch is supported by 9 posts with a railing of nearly rectangular woodwork in amongst. A frieze hangs from the roof of the porch. Methods primary to the wooden double doorways also have railings. A metal fence with brick piles surrounds the dwelling, and amongst the entrance two piles is an iron gate with a small wheel or roller for straightforward opening. On a couple of of the piles are brass lamps, wired for electrical power.

  • Porch of the Second Empire Period

    Second Empire Porch

    The Hundley-White House in Oxford, North Carolina is a rare example of the Second Empire architectural style in the South. Built in 1889 towards the end of its popularity, the brick house features a rectangular shape with a concave mansard roof and a centrally placed tower. Dormers jut from the roof and tower, with windows featuring steeply pitched hoods. The windows on the first level are much taller than those on the roof, and the cornice is a vertical pattern of gray without brackets. The porch is supported by nine posts with a nearly rectangular wood railing and a frieze hanging from the roof. A metal fence with brick piles surrounds the house, and brass lamps wired for electricity can be found on a few of the piles.

  • Lamp Job Description

    JD lamp

    Woodworking is an art form that has been around for thousands of years. It involves taking a piece of wood and using tools to shape and transform it into something beautiful and functional. One of the most popular forms of woodworking is creating furniture. There is something satisfying about building a piece of furniture with your own two hands, and knowing that it will be enjoyed for years to come.

    One of the most important aspects of woodworking is choosing the right type of wood for your project. There are many different types of wood, each with its own characteristics and qualities. Some woods are harder and more durable, while others are softer and more flexible. Some woods have a distinctive grain pattern, while others are more subtle. Choosing the right type of wood for your project will depend on your personal preferences, as well as the intended use of the piece.

    One popular type of wood that is often used in woodworking projects is aged wood. Aged wood is wood that has been allowed to naturally age and weather over time. This can give the wood a unique texture and coloring that is highly prized by woodworkers. Aged wood can come from a variety of sources, including old barns, fences, and even boats.

    One type of aged wood that is highly sought after by woodworkers is JD aged wood. JD aged wood is sourced from Jack Daniel’s whiskey barrels that have been retired from use. Jack Daniel’s whiskey is aged for an average of six to eight years in these barrels, which are made from American white oak. Over time, the whiskey seeps into the wood, giving it a rich, dark color and a distinctive flavor. Once the barrels are retired from use, the wood is carefully removed and sold to woodworkers who want to incorporate it into their projects.

    Using JD aged wood in a woodworking project can give the piece a unique and distinctive look. The wood is often highly figured, with a rich, dark color that is hard to replicate. It can be used to create anything from a simple cutting board to a full dining room table.

    There are a few things to keep in mind when working with JD aged wood. Because the wood has been soaked in whiskey, it can have a strong odor that may take some time to dissipate. You may also need to clean the wood thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated over time. Because the wood is so valuable, it can be quite expensive, so it is important to plan your project carefully to ensure that you get the most out of your investment.

    Despite these challenges, working with JD aged wood can be a highly enjoyable and rewarding experience. The rich color and texture of the wood, combined with its unique history, can make for a truly one-of-a-kind woodworking project. Whether you are a seasoned woodworker or a beginner, using JD aged wood in your projects is sure to result in a piece that you will be proud to display in your home for years to come.
