Timber Frames



Timber frames are some of the most interesting and distinct structures in the world. If you have been thinking of creating a post and beam frame of your own, you already know that the number of options available are endless.



When considering companies to work with on your new timber frame, there are many important factors to keep in mind. Depending on the level of detail you require, there are different ways to cut a timber frame. Vermont Timber Works still cuts every piece of our work by hand. Our post and beam components are hand crafted in our shop in North Springfield, VT.



We also offer more than 20 years of experience in designing, engineering, and erecting timber frames all over the country. By maintaining a strictly customized approach to timber framing, we can offer a level of detail and personalized care to your frame that will not find anywhere else. Post and beam structures are our passion, and we think it shows in our work. Please visit us online at http://www.vermonttimberworks.com/, and view some of our projects.

The New Guy

Being the new person at VTW has been a little easier than I was first expecting. The people in the office, and the timber framers out on the production floor have been great to work with. Having done sales, and having worked in the heavy timber business before, there seems to be this friendly atmosphere with the people who work in this field. Maybe it just takes a special person to hand hewn a beam, or cut a mortise and tenon joint by hand, or help a client visualize what their Great Room will look like. Right know I am just trying to take in all the knowledge that I can, and enjoy the great atmosphere that is here everyday when you walk through the doors at VTW.

Timber Framing in Autumn in Vermont...

Timber Framing in Vermont in Autumn...it's really tough to take the view. Don't you think so?


As the leaves change color and fall to the ground, our Vermont Timber Works crew is very busy. We are wrapping up a custom designed horse barn to be raised in Rockingham, VT. Hemlock timbers were chosen, do you know why?

Horses tend not to chew hemlock timbers as much as other wood species.

Foliage photo's are stunning and are courtesy of our very own Megan (thank you).

Timber Framing in the fall


What a great time of year to be erecting your barn or your timber frame house. With the fall colors so bright, and the air so crisp, it is nice to live in New England. Watching your home being erected with the timbers, and trusses all being connected to give you the post & beam home that you have always wanted. Now all that is left to do is to sit in your Great Room, and wait until next fall.

Custom Timber Framing in Beautiful Vermont

Foliage season is upon us in beautiful southern Vermont. Here is a shot of our North Springfield Lake, trees just beginning to turn.

As the leaves change and fall, Vermont Timber Works has much to do. Douglas fir timbers have arrived for 2 projects, one a commercial timber frame and the other is a residential. Hand crafted fabrication with traditional mortise and tenon joinery will keep our crew busy. More douglas fir timbers are arriving Tuesday for another commercial timber truss project.

Vermont Timber Works, Inc. Call us @ 802.88.1917 or email us, we need YOUR business to be sure we stay busy!
