Beautifully done douglas fir glulam beams...

Vermont Timber Works as a rule usually works with natural timber...BUT sometimes a glulam is needed. For example on our Lake Taghkanic Project. The majority of the design is in natural Douglas Fir Timbers, planed and chamfered with clear poly. The arches are glulams and will coordinate very nicely.
Take a close look, you can see the lamination lines. Traditional joinery can be used on glulams, mortise and tenon with hardwood pegs.

Thinking about Building a Timber Frame? Some Post and Beam Pointers....

At Vermont Timber Works, we get a lot of calls from prospective buyers, who have no idea what the process entails.

Let me help enlighten those of you who are thinking about a Timber Framed Home, or even a Post and Beam Barn. These tips will be helpful to those of you who might even be consdering adding decorative trusses to your Great Room or dressing things up with some timber beams for the kitchen.

At Vermont Timber Works, the estimating process is complimentary, but is made a lot more efficient if the buyer has an idea of what they are looking for. There are a lot of things to be considered when deciding what type of project will suit you best.
First of all, are you going to Timber Frame the entire home? Are you going to build a hybrid version, and add timber beams to a conventionally framed building?

What type of wood species are you more drawn to? If you don't know the difference, you can spend some time browsing our website for helpful information.

Are you looking for traditional style mortise and tenon joinery, or do you prefer the look of steel connectors and bolts in your frame?

What is your building schedule? Are you planning to build in the next few months, or do you need the timbers right now? Normally, it takes Vermont Timber Works anywhere from 12-14 weeks to deliver a project.

These are only a few of the factors that will help to determine which route you should take. I hope this has been helpful. Please feel free to contact our sales team at Sales@vermonttimberworks.com.

Post and Beam Churches with Heavy Timber Trusses

Have you ever walked into a Timber framed Church and looked up at the Ceiling Beams or Timber Trusses?

The feeling is one of awe, as you realize just how beautiful a Custom Hand Crafted Timber Frame from Vermont Timber Works can be.

Look at this Timber Framed Cupola that adorns the top of the Bethlehem Monastery of the Poor Clares.

These Douglas Fir Timbers are impressive enough flying through the air,

but nestled high atop the building, are unbelievably beautiful as a finished project looking up from the alter (as seen below)

.

Another example of our best post and beam framing would be the Westminister Presbyterian Church in West Hartford, CT. These timber trusses featured traditional joinery - mortise & tenon with hardwood pegs.

A divine idea, and a heavenly result.....
