The Dog Days of Winter...at Vermont Timber Works

Well, not really as the DOGS are inside...but here is what it looks like outside our timber frame shop. Can you see the snowflakes?

Snow, Wind, Sleet and Timber Frames in Vermont.

Timber frames are hand crafted in our North Springfield, VT shop and shipped all over the country, regardless of the season. Our Vermont Timber Works Crew raises many of these timber frames. As I type, warm at my desk, Tommy and the guys are in Rockingham, VT organizing and assembling a timber frame house. The weather today is not bad, but I bet the wind has a bite to it!

We assemble the bents and sections on the ground, then raise them into place with a crane and fork truck. It's very cool to watch. This project actually has 2 timber frame structures, the first being the timber frame barn AND we have a video on youtube...take a look!
