About the name...
Our friend Clifford suggested "Crested Oak" when we asked him what we might name the cabin. It has to do with some oak trees grouped together on the property.
If it weren't for Clifford locating our well we may not have built at all. We thought it was fitting to use the name he recommended.

Our vision.

Sketch to capture final landscaping.
Initial concept of cabin placement.  Yes, I felt it was necessary to include a hawk in the tree.
Using one of Randy's overhead shots was helpful to visualize cabin placement to scale.
