I found this larger Cedar Strip Woody modernish Canned
Ham TT build - @23 ft [body I assume as it's a UK build]
through the Tinyhouseblog:

http://tinyhouseblog.com/travel-trailer ... more-21070

The builder is Dan McMahon, who is building it for a friend -
we should all be so lucky! His blog is here:

http://dmc-makerofthings.blogspot.com/

Read every page! It covers the TT build so far, plus a couple small
boats, but the bulk of it is the TT build. Not much text but
the pics speak volumnes and show amazing fabrication and build
skills.

He also has a photobucket link:

It has a truss frame basement style frame/chassis. The body
framing appears to be oak and it is treated as a mimi-woodframe
structure. He is using actual woodworking joinery techniques -
mortise and tenon etc. - The framing pieces are decoratively chamfered
on their edges and form the frame part of a frame and panel interior.
The exterior is cedar stripping [probably bead and cove] using glue
and bronze fasteners.A high end furniture quality type of build!

This will be gorgeous when it's finished!

Very inspirational to those who love this sort of thing.

Cheers,
