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 our website and view some of our projects.

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).

Polka-Dots and Timber Frames.

Timber framing and polka-dots go hand in hand...when you are Sue! We thank you Sue for starting this fun and informative blog about timber frames and working with Vermont Timber Works. Travis and Sandy and others will continue it for you, and I'm thinking we'll keep the polka-dots.

Timber framing- A La Carte.....

Sometimes I think that being in the business of sales is almost like being a waiter at a fine restaurant.

The primary focus is to make the customer happy, and to run yourself ragged trying to keep them that way.

I take orders every day....from clients, bosses, even the dogs. This person would like Steel Joinery instead of Traditional Joinery. Okay- no problem.
Another person will want the Harwood Pegs in the Joints to stick out and inch, instead of being flush with the Timber Trusses. Even the dogs bark their orders....Okay- One BISCUIT, coming right up!

At Vermont Timber Works, we strive to achieve excellence every day.
We put the utmost effort into creating unique, high quality timber frames.

Fortunately, we do not have to deliver them on silver trays.....
