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.

Timber Frame Homes by Vermont Timber Works

A timber frame home by Vermont Timber Works is always a good idea. Hand crafted, traditional joinery and custom designs. NICE! Here are two of my favorite completed timber frame projects by VTW.

This very pretty timber frame home features hand hewn white pine and a gambrel roof design. Below is an interior finished shot. Gorgoeous, don't you think?

Another favorite is our Chase House. Native hemlock timber frame home with traditional joinery, mortise and tenon with hardwood pegs and dovetail joints.

This family has outgrown their cape and has called Vermont Timber Works for an addition. Repeat business is the best!

Would you like a timber frame house?

If so, you have come to the right place. From initial design ideas to the finished hand crafted timber frame house, Vermont Timber Works is ready to talk with you.

Imagine sitting in this couch and looking up into the timber beams, and that arched window (Great choice Arthur!). Natural timber frame construction creates a wonderful warmth and many designs are possible.

On a lighter note...this hand hewn native pine timber frame creates a gambrel roof design (I love it).

Building a timber frame home?

Building a timber frame home is a dream for many. Vermont Timber Works offers high quality hand crafted timber frames. Here are some ideas to get you started. FIRST you need a budget. This will narrow down what is affordable. Perhaps you want a kit home? If so, give us a call, we can recommend a few. If you want a custom timber frame home, designed just for you, we have many options. Perhaps your budget only allows for a timber frame great room and the rest of the home is conventionally framed. Maybe a full frame is in your budget or something in between. Whatever your budget, our sales teams & designers can come up with ideas for your consideration. Call 802-886-1917 or email US.

Timber Frame House... Gambrel Design in Process!

This beautiful custom designed gambrel timber frame will eventually be raised by Vermont Timber Works in Pine, AZ. We hope NOT in the dead of summer though! Right now would have been great only due to the weather :)

Our 3D model shows how all the heavy timber fits together. The timber frame is structural and our engineer has given his stamp of approval. Thanks PJZ.
