Timber framing is a majestic type of construction that uses exacting mortise and tenon joinery and massive timbers to create the framework of a building.  This beautiful frame is then left exposed on the interior of the home, creating a breathtaking effect of open spaces and craftsmanship rarely seen in this age. Generally the look is less rustic than a log home, yet the core skills and a reverence for wood are the same.

Timber framing was meticulously practiced for centuries as the preferred method of building in many part of the world.  Living examples of long lasting timber frame structures include Japanese temples, European catheredrals, bridges, and early American homes and barns.

Timberwrights almost disappeared in the early 19 century due to steel and dimensional lumber and nails.  As people rediscovered the permanence and beauty of the structures, there is once again an eager market for the timber frame home and commercial structure.

The timber frame is particularity flexible when it comes to design.  We use it constantly in every application from modern contemporary to modern rustic to period reproduction.  We can use any specie of wood, including recycled timber.  We can provide a wide variation in surface finishes, from planed and oiled, to hand hewn, to weather aged and more.
