Timber Framing & Post and Beam
Basically a timber frame building is built in sections made up of heavy timbers. Commonly 8" x 8" timbers are used as the vertical posts and are attached and secured to the foundation using metal tie down straps. These posts are connected to other members within a ridged structural system, such as rafters, tie beams, king or queen posts, collar ties, etc. by accurately cutting traditional joinery (such as mortise and tenon). The joinery is then secured with 1" hard wood dowels to preventing it's withdrawal. We call this structure system within a frame a BENT system. These BENT systems are spaced anywhere from 10' to 14' a part (depending on you're specific layout / design) creating BAYS (spacing in-between the bent systems). Click here for more >>

Log Homes
Log homes can be built using round logs or logs that have been squared (hewn) on our portable band-saw mill. Depending on your preference, these squared logs can be left rough sawn, as it comes off the saw mill, sanded for a smoother finish or hand planned for a lightly textured, planned finish. The thicker the log wall, the more insulation you'll have so we choose not to build with less than 8" thick timbers. Click here for more >>
