The 1st Truck Has Arrived / Vermont Timber Works

IF you were wondering how we deliver 24,000 board feet of hand crafted timber frame...here is your answer.
A curtain side flat bed from GMH Transport. GMH handles all of our trucking through out the US and Canada.
Two flat beds will be needed for this oak timber frame barn. Carefully wrapped and loaded by MJ, James, Kellin & Mike (supervised by Miss Ruby).


Red oak timbers in a rough sawn finish were chosen for this Pennsylvanian timber frame barn. Traditional Joinery all hand crafted by our Vermont Timber Works Crew.

Timber Framers & A Long Weekend...

Vermont Timber Works will be closed on Monday (Labor Day) as will most businesses. These 3 day weekends are great! The unofficial end of summer and usually a barbecue or two.

The tree in our front yard is screaming Autumn, although I am trying to ignore it. The cooler mornings turn into very warm afternoons. MJ and Jason were quite warm yesterday, out in the full sun with some of our red oak timber frame barn project.
