Timber Framing Services

Background

In the timber and reclaimed business since 2007, we have a passion for historic barn structures and the way they were crafted. As an ode to the wood artisans and our ancestors from the 19th century, we are continuing the timber framing trade. Sam Swartz (timber frame lead) has been in the barn & timber industry going on 15 years. Through this period, he has developed his skills and expanded his knowledge of how to produce the best timber frame components and structures. Our facility is located in the heart of white oak and barn country, affording us the opportunity to utilize the best timbers for your structure.

The Process

All starts with a timeless design. Our team can help you with each step of the timber frame process. From the design of your structure to selecting the type of timbers that best represent your style, we can be involved in as little or as much as you prefer.

Once the design and drawings are finalized, our team will select the timbers for your project. Each timber is hand-selected and then goes through a wash / spray treatment process. Traditional mortise and tenon joinery are used as it provides superior strength and exceptional stability. Once the milling and joinery work are completed the timbers are tagged to simplify the installation process. Our timber frame joinery techniques continue to evolve, combining traditional craftsmanship with innovation engineering practices.
