Timberframers, Scott and Travis (above), at work in our shop in Jeffersonville, VT.  The knee braces are for a barn frame to be raised in Enosburg, Vermont.

The client chose the wood species of the frame to be done in northeastern hemlock timbers.  Hemlock, a wood we work frequently with, will deepen into a rich honey color over time providing visual pleasure over many years to come. 

The custom joinery for the frame is hand cut (see below) by the same framers who will be overseeing and helping raise the structure onsite.  During the raising any necessary last minute modifications, changes, or potential issues will be dealt with quickly, efficiently, and by the most knowledgeable person available, the timberframer that cut the frame in our shop!

In true timber frame fashion the frame will be held together with large wooden oak pegs; a tradition that is centurys old.
