Timber Frame Pergola by the Pool

Timber frame construction and traditional joinery created this wood pergola. Adding to the already beautiful landscape, just past the pool. NICE!

The Pergola will have vines and flowers growing on it soon I'm sure. Great job Vermont Timber!

Not the Same Ole Timber Frame

This project features FSC certified native hemlock timbers, custom steel plate joinery, and a clear two story. Find this timber frame building at Sam's Point State Park in Upstate New York.

Vermont Timber Works, Inc. partnered with Matthew Bialecki Architects and Artisan Engineering with an outstanding result.

Kramer is at the office...Doug is not.

Kramer misses Doug...I'm sure Doug doesn't miss Kramer! (Well, not just yet).

While Doug is on vacation, Kramer patiently awaits his return. Other than that, our timber frame shop is fairly quiet.

The Vermont Timber Works crew is headed back to Deer Lake Dining Hall for the week. Sandy and Jackie are searching out leads and working on timber frame project proposals. Butch is drafting up a storm and Denise is keeping an eye on the finances. OH and Julie is keeping an eye on all of us!

Hurry home Doug, your dog is pouting!

My Timber Frame

My timber frame is hand crafted, with traditional joinery of the highest quality. Perhaps in a rustic rough sawn hemlock, or maybe a smooth finished douglas fir material. Let's see...

These weathered hemlock beams really give that old barn feel. If you like this, it will save you big bucks as purchasing the authentic reclaimed beams are pricey. (I really love this timber frame)!

Douglas fir allows for a more formal design. Smooth finish, maybe some arches, corbels...a beautiful way to go. Notice the hardwood pegs, left proud on the mortise and tenon joints.

Open great room, ceiling beams over the kitchen and dining room, yes, this is what my timber frame will include. AND, I will have custom designed and handcrafted kitchen cabinetry to go with my custom designed and handcrafted timber frame! Both from VERMONT.

For the exterior look, I tend to like clean, simple, straight forward. This would absolutely do!

My timber frame will come from Vermont Timber Works, Inc. And, how do I know this? Because I know quality and I know craftsmanship. Seeing it every day at work and every night at home.
