Timbers Timbers Everywhere

The Vermont Timber Works shop is full of timbers (this is a very good thing). Douglas fir timbers for the Chapel for Holy Apostles project to be erected in October of this year.

From the glulam arches to the king posts, this project is cool. Below is the 3D model (very nice Butch)!

The Vermont Timber Works crew will be raising this timber frame. Lot's of pictures will be taken I am sure of that. Stay tuned!

Vermont Timber Works, Inc...Welcomes Tommy back to our Timber Framing Team

Tommy, shown here hard at work and also trying hard to avoid the camera!

Tom is back with our timber frame team and he is a welcome asset. From the layout, to all aspects of our hand crafted fabrication process, we are happy to have him back.

Tom ran the show at our Lake Taghkanic job in Ancram, NY. Douglas Fir Timber and Glulam Arches complete this heavy timber commercial project. Vermont Timber Works and CREW raise many timber frames.

Update! More Pics from our Lake Taghkanic Bath House.

This heavy timber trellis and bath house timber frame is located at the Lake Taghkanic State Park in Ancram, NY. Douglas fir timbers and columns with glue laminated arches, very pretty next to the lake, don't you agree?


Thank you Doug for these wonderful pictures.

Beautifully done douglas fir glulam beams...

Vermont Timber Works as a rule usually works with natural timber...BUT sometimes a glulam is needed. For example on our Lake Taghkanic Project. The majority of the design is in natural Douglas Fir Timbers, planed and chamfered with clear poly. The arches are glulams and will coordinate very nicely.
Take a close look, you can see the lamination lines. Traditional joinery can be used on glulams, mortise and tenon with hardwood pegs.
