Custom Traditional Timber Framing Services
Using our specialized shop we can cut your dream timberframe kit.
With our onsite Woodmizer bandsaw mill, we start with logs from your property or source them from local suppliers.
We’ll cut all your joinery and prepare it for installation, with whatever your preferred finish: planed, sanded, or brushed finish.
We'll apply our recommended finishing product to maximize the lifespan of your frame if you like, or you can choose or apply your own.
We also offer drafting services and design services.
We offer a specialized crew for the installation of our timber frames at your location, or we can ship and you can hire locally for installation.
If you prefer to use a preexisting design to save time and money, we have access to a large database of common timberframe designs.
Here are some of our previous Timber Frames

Cruck style timberframes are a unique and ancient form of timber construction that has been used for centuries in various parts of the world. The cruck frame is a traditional method of building structures using pairs of curved timbers that are joined at the apex to form a pointed arch. These frames are often associated with medieval architecture and are known for their strength, versatility, and striking aesthetic appeal.
The history of cruck style timberframes dates back to the medieval period in Europe, where they were commonly used in the construction of homes, barns, and other agricultural buildings. The design allowed for large, open interior spaces without the need for interior support walls, making them ideal for housing livestock and storing large quantities of harvested crops.
Cruck frames were typically constructed using locally sourced timber, with each frame being unique to the building it supported. The craftsmanship involved in creating these frames was highly skilled, and the resulting structures were not only functional but also beautiful.
