Horse Barn Raising in Rockingham, Vermont by Vermont Timber Works (of course)! The timber frame home with be next...stay tuned!
We are very happy to share this timber frame barn raising with you. Next will be her timber home! Thank you Carol, we appreciate your business.
Adding some interest in this sitting room is the octogon shape. Focus may be on the fireplace, but you can't help but notice these beautiful timber beams.
Another idea for your sitting area may be something like this shown below. Darker timber beams with light colored walls and lots of windows.
Most timber frame homes include a loft area, here is a very pretty idea for your consideration.
How about that great room area? How about hand hewn timber? Sounds good to me. 
Bedroom, perhaps a few timber ceiling beams is all you need.
Ruby would like to thank you for looking at our timber home ideas.
We look forward to hearing you ideas and helping you turn them into a timber reality :)
Why not a timber frame covered bridge, we are a custom shop you know :)
This one is being designed to compliment a timber frame barn that was recently raised by us, Vermont Timber Works.
Custom designed to suit your needs and handcrafted to the finest quality. This is how each timber frame project is handled.

Now THAT is a timber frame barn. First things first. We can't begin your timber frame fabrication until the timbers arrive. Much of what we hand craft is designed with douglas fir timbers. Douglas fir is a beautiful wood and is also quite strong. 
Unloading this truck from Disdero Lumber Co. is our very own PJZ. Normally this is done by MJ or Toddy but Pete has forklift training for times like this. He is the only one here! Besides us girls that is. Great job!
Custom designed timber frame great room with kitchen and loft will be created from part of this timber load. Also douglas fir timber trussesfor a school. Stay tuned for progress shots.
IF you were wondering how we deliver 24,000 board feet of hand crafted timber frame...here is your answer.
A curtain side flat bed from GMH Transport. GMH handles all of our trucking through out the US and Canada.
Two flat beds will be needed for this oak timber frame barn. Carefully wrapped and loaded by MJ, James, Kellin & Mike (supervised by Miss Ruby).
Red Oak Timbers are READY for raising.
Vermont Timber Works jobsite trailer is being loaded.
Don't forget the generator, we are going to need one on this trip.
Shop drawings are being plotted. We are getting organized for our Auburn, PA timber frame barn raising.
Kellin, James and MJ are wrapping the hand crafted timbers. These red oak timbers were supplied by Pioneer Lumber Co. Thank you Terry!
GMH Transport will be here tomorrow morning with 2 trucks for us. We'll be ready!

Vermont Timber Works will be closed on Monday (Labor Day) as will most businesses. These 3 day weekends are great! The unofficial end of summer and usually a barbecue or two.
The tree in our front yard is screaming Autumn, although I am trying to ignore it. The cooler mornings turn into very warm afternoons. MJ and Jason were quite warm yesterday, out in the full sun with some of our red oak timber frame barn project.
Vermont Timber Works custom designs, engineers and hand crafts each timber frame project. 802.886.1917
Another timber frame barn by Vermont Timber Works and another happy client. This rough sawn hemlock timber frame will be a working barn. Above shows the finished frame including nailers. Traditional Joinery with pegs extended, a small amount of steel was needed on this timber frame project.
Here are some progress shots, taken by Travis...Enjoy!
Our timber frame bents are assembled on the ground and raised with a lull and/or a crane. We used both on this job.
Above Doug, Dan and Rick are all up on the frame. Much coordination goes into a successful timber frame raising.
MJ and Kellin are helping from below and Rick and Dan work from above.
Vermont Timber Works does not raise all of our timber frames, but the majority of our full timber frame projects, we do.
Hand crafted, custom designed and engineered to suit the needs of each client. That's VTW, don't settle for anything less!
Vermont Timber Works is on the road this week, (well most of us)! Raising a timber frame barn in Weston, MASS. This rough sawn hemlock timber frame barn will be home to some very lucky horses.
Check back for pictures from the field.....SOON!
Did you know that Vermont Timber Works hand crafts each timber frame project in their North Springfield, Vermont shop? Well, if you didn't know this...now you do. At Vermont Timber Works each timber frame home is custom designed, engineered to suit and cut by hand in VERMONT. Now, made in Vermont doesn't mean STAY in Vermont...as many of our timber frames are shipped elsewhere. For example, you'll find this timber frame barn in Shiner, Texas.
This douglas fir timber frame pavilion shown below is in Barrington, IL. The Citizen's Park Playground Project consisted of a group of timber framed gazebos, shelters, pavilions, an amphitheater, a warming shelter and gathering room for a great public park. All structures feature douglas fir timber framing, love the arched beams!
Springfield, Missouri is where you'll find this timber framed church project. Rebuilt after a fire, Vermont Timber Works is very proud to be the chosen timber frame company.
Did you know that Vermont Timber Works prides itself in working with architects and design professionals to create beautiful timber frame projects? Well, we absolutely do.
We even have a section on our web page dedicated just for them. Please browse through the "For Architects" pages to find specifications, sample shop drawings, information about wood species and finishes, choices for interior timber trusses, post and beam designs, and more.
High resolution timber frame project photos are available to download and/or viewing. Enjoy!
Call Vermont Timber Works, email US, or stop in to visit us, we would love to hear from you.
Our Professional Engineer PJZ has been learning Solid Works and so far he likes it. Vermont Timber Works is thinking about adding Solid Works...I'll keep you posted.
DataCAD has been our program of choice for years, we like that better than AutoCAD. With Computer Assisted Design Programs we are able to create timber framing shop drawings for client approval as well as finalize timber framing joint details for our shop crew. Something like the drawing shown below of our Spruce Camp Lodge.
Vermont Timber Works, custom designs and traditional joinery for all of your timber framing needs.
If so, you have come to the right place. From initial design ideas to the finished hand crafted timber frame house, Vermont Timber Works is ready to talk with you.
Imagine sitting in this couch and looking up into the timber beams, and that arched window (Great choice Arthur!). Natural timber frame construction creates a wonderful warmth and many designs are possible.
On a lighter note...this hand hewn native pine timber frame creates a gambrel roof design (I love it).

Tommy, shown here hard at work and also trying hard to avoid the camera!
Tom is back with our timber frame team and he is a welcome asset. From the layout, to all aspects of our hand crafted fabrication process, we are happy to have him back.
Tom ran the show at our Lake Taghkanic job in Ancram, NY. Douglas Fir Timber and Glulam Arches complete this heavy timber commercial project. Vermont Timber Works and CREW raise many timber frames.
From the sweetest timber frame chapel to most extravagant timber frame monastery, Vermont Timber Works is the timber framer of choice. VTW can custom design, engineer, handcraft and raise your timber frame project.
Let's take a look at the Veteran's Cemetery Chapel shown above and below. This lovely timber frame chapel overlooks Randolph, VT. It features an open air design with sliding walls that close it for winter use. Pretty timber frame, don't you think?
The Bethlehem Monastery of Poor Clares, located in Barhamsville, VA is a bit more complex in timber frame design.
The 2-1/2 story frame reaches just shy of 45 feet at the very top of the cupola. Now THAT is a timber frame cupola!
This timber frame features traditional joinery, a small amount of steel, and over 31,000 board feet of douglas fir heavy timber.
