First I used the polygon lasso tool to all of the wood items that I needed and started out with the center beam - chopped it out and duplicated it - then merged it together and adjusted it using free form a bit and clone tool - used these for the Steps

Next I chopped out the corner piece of the wood to use for panels for the outside of the house. Again making a copy and adjusting to get as close as possible to straight then merged them and stretched up and down to look like a wood panel - duplicated a bunch of times to fit in to the house

Once I had the edges in place I added a nice piece of the engraved piece to the center and then once I had it where it looked ok - I then went into my Filter area - thus choosing the Vanishing point tool to blend the Engraved part in to the plain end areas that were there - with a tad of burning
