Timber Frame Church

This is a pretty church. Heavy timber trusses spanning 52ft with arched douglas fir beams and steel tie rods.


Vermont Timber Works traveled to Springfield, MO to install after hand crafting each timber in our North Springfield, VT shop.

Trust me, there really are guys working on this!

The finished custom timber frame will look like this...
