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.....
Call Vermont Timber Works for an estimate on the church project nearest you!
