At our core we are builders of fine and
sustainable shelter. Timber framing is our most coveted
method and after twenty years we have achieved respect
and recognition, one frame at a time, among our peers
and clientele. Last year, despite a 15% increase in
work and offering no planbooks or garden-variety frames,
77% of our work was either repeat business or word of
mouth referral.
We paid our dues in the early years of
timber framing's renaissance, learning to cut the classic
joinery found in the saltbox and cape and we've adapted
it, pushing the envelope, unwilling to be bound by the
constraints of tradition but still paying homage to
the craft and those who passed before us.
You can see the results in our finished
work; laminated curves, massive and long-span trusses,
hand-scribed natural shapes, complex compound joinery,
the sensitive use of reclaimed wood.
You can get some idea of the level of
craftsmanship in our frames from the photographs used
in this site, but to really appreciate the work our
timber framers turn out you need to see it in the flesh,
so to speak. If you can find time to visit a raising
or an open house we'd love to see you. You can help
out by raising a glass with us as we toast the frame.
The links to the left give a pretty good
idea of who we are & what we've been up to over
the years - check them out and hopefully they'll answer
some questions and spark others. If you'd like to talk
with a real live person then give us a call, advice
is always available and we like meeting new folks.
