The Men of Vermont Timber Works...

Yes, just the men...maybe we should put out a Vermont Timber Works Calender? Do we have enough guys for 12 months? JK guys, not to worry.

The craftsman at Vermont Timber Works take pride in their work, and it shows. We custom design, engineer and hand craft each timber frame project.

Let's start at the top...Dan is our president and he runs the shop, does layout, fabrication, material orders and more. He is a hard one to get a photo of, but here is one at the Olana Wagon House raising. Dan is on the left and Rick is on the right.

Speaking of Rick, he is our Director of Operations and handles our estimating and covers in the shop as needed. Rick can handle any job out there including turned timber columns and peeled poles. Below is Rick and Pete discussing the Mazur Project. (It was COLD in the shop & office that day).

Peter is one of our Vice Presidents as well as our Professional Engineer. We keep him very busy as he is involved in pretty much every aspect of the timber framing process. Pete even goes on raisings.

Doug is our co-owner and original VP. Doug handles more of the design and office aspects such as approving estimates, setting complexities for bids, reviewing designs, redesigning as needed, shop drawings, preliminary engineering and our awesome web page. I'm working on getting a candid of Doug, so for now....above is his mini and below is Kramer.

Doug as well as Dan are usually on hand for the raisings. AND, I found a great picture of Doug. Here at our Southern Vermont Welcome Center timber frame raising. Don't look down!

Travis hangs in the front office with Sue and me, he is the newest member of our sales team. With a background in building trades and sales, he is a welcome addition.

Vermont Timber Works shop crew consists of Mikey, shown below raising the Sands Barn in Dublin, NH. Weathered hemlock timbers and traditional joinery.

James, shown here working on the Davis timber frame. All reclaimed and hand hewn white oak. Tough to work with! (The timber, not James).

Kellin also worked on the Davis Project also, but here he is working on Artzt. Kellin and MJ carefully cut the timber arches.

Both tried to jump out of this picture, but stayed in it just for you. Thanks guys, arches looks great.

MJ has worked with us for about 6 months and fits right in! Todd and Jason round out our shop crew.
Jason did pretty much all of the cutting on the Mazur timber frame project. (And it's up)! All rough sawn hemlock and traditional joinery. Todd is another one that is hard to get a picture of...but I did get a one of him and MJ during the Davis Assembly. (Dan is hiding behind MJ).

A Beautiful Timber Frame House Addition by VTW.

Located in Darien, CT and looking to add on to their 1790's renovated tavern home. A timber frame addition from Vermont Timber Works made perfect sense.

This timber frame addition features hand hewn native white pine timbers and traditional mortise and tenon joinery. Here is another view of the raising, great job guys!


We assemble the timber frame bents on the ground and crane them into place. Bracing and placing connectors, girts & joists as needed.
Looking down from the balcony and up from the timber frame living room, the warmth of the hand hewn timbers is apparent.
Even the kitchen is breathtaking. Each timber hand crafted and hand hewn for an authentic look. This timber frame house addition looks like it's been there all along. Just want the clients were hoping for.

Custom Timber Frame with Arched Braces & Beams

This custom hand crafted timber frame features our hand hewn option. Rough sawn hemlock, hand hewn with an adze or chisel for a very traditional look. (Great job Todd) Mortise and tenon joinery with the hard wood pegs extended and that arch. Look at that arched beam!

We thank Kruh Designs for being so wonderful to work with, not only on this project but others as well.
