Building Traditional Wooden Roof Gable

Time has come to finish the gable of the roof. First 3x5cm board frame is nailed to the main roof framing. Onto the frame and inch thick fir boards are nailed. Gaps between the boards are covered with thinner boards. Decorative boards are than attached, on the bottom of the gable and around the windows as well. I finish the the boards with linen oil, tar and turpentine mix.

This is only of the possible ways to cover the gable with boards. Other ways involve two layers of boards, with boards overlapping to prevent any gaps. Also many great variety of styles was used in different regions.
