Repairing a Damaged Post the Traditional Way

I was asked if I could repair a damaged post with a Kanawa Tsugi (scarf joint).

Not wanting the post to directly touch the ground like how it was previously, the client picked a stone from their garden.
Marking out the height and joinery, adjusting the slanted post, cutting the joinery, and scribing onto the stone.

There were several aspects of the work in which I only had a little or almost no experience so the work took longer than I hoped, but thankfully the overall process went smoothly and I managed to finish everything within the day, with a result just as I imagined (or perhaps even better).
Most of all, the client was delighted with it and I hope it makes their house feel a touch more special.
