It all started with a stump. "I saw a wet stump resting at the bottom of a creek bed" explained Jarles Alberg. The stump ended up as a base for a table. Then he made some low rocking chairs. Next, he built a rustic cedar cottage, now called the Raleigh Mill House. The 6-foot-diameter ship's wheel of a window in the living room once graced King Religious Center on the N.C. State University campus.
