EXTRAORDINARY "EXTRAS"
Designed and hand-crafted by Michael Blickensderfer (The Blickensderfer Brothers), the custom copper dormer window frames shown on this page were created for a new home in the Lake Norman, NC area. The copper trimmed dormer windows shown represent two of the four dormers planned, The rest of the home and outbuildings remain under construction. We plan to update this page with photos of the finished structure, when available.
The imported French antique mission tiles (seen above in the photos) are being applied by the Blickensderfer Company.
Viewing from a distance, one begins to sense the awesome dimensions and quality of this home.

Another glimpse of the work in progress: a section of frame being shaped along a circular mould. The job necessitated a wide range of tools and materials kept close at hand!
