Tim Berky is creating new frieze board to match the existing frieze board and molding on the 1890 Rowley Victorian. Berky is building an 1 1/2-inch frieze board to build out the surface of the new addition to the appropriate depth. Berky is creating custom detailing by gluing two boards together and facing the ends with a filler piece that covers the end grain and provides a smooth corner face. Berky uses Bavarian timber wood, an engineered product with no finger joints. The strength is built in because the wood direction varies from piece to piece. Berky hand nails the end, then shoots the backerboard in place with a nail gun. The frieze board brings the appropriate thickness to the face above the clapboards. Finally a bed molding is applied to transition the clapboard face from the vertical frieze board to the horizontal planchard that follows the roofline.
