A Day in the Life of a “Timber-Framer”

Welcome to the heart of our craft, where passion meets precision, and every swing of the hammer tells a story. Join us on a virtual tour of the workshop as we peel back the curtain and invite you into the world of timber framing. From the scent of freshly cut wood to the rhythmic sound of chisels meeting timber, each day is a symphony of craftsmanship and dedication.

Morning Rituals:

As the sun begins to rise, the workshop comes to life with the hum of activity. First thing our owner likes to do is get some “Code” from the rising sun. If you don’t know what that is, he would be happy to tell you all about it! The next order of business? Coffee, of course – fuel for the day ahead. With caffeine in hand, our owner gathers to review the day's tasks and map out our plan of attack. From custom mailbox posts to intricate pergolas, no two projects are ever the same, and each presents its own set of challenges and opportunities.

Tools of the Trade:

Step inside the workshop, and you'll find yourself surrounded by an array of tools – each one meticulously maintained and cherished for its role in the craft. From hand saws to power drills, our arsenal is as diverse as the projects we tackle. But it's the ancient tools – the chisels, mallets, and hand planes – that hold a special place in our hearts. With these time-honored implements, we shape wood with a level of precision that machines simply can't replicate.

The Art of Joinery:

At the heart of timber framing lies the art of joinery – the intricate interlocking of timbers to create structures that are as beautiful as they are sturdy. Watch closely as our master craftsman meticulously measure, mark, and cut each joint with a precision born of years of experience. From mortise and tenon to dovetail and scarf, every joint is a testament to our dedication to the craft and our commitment to quality.

A Labor of Love:

As the day wears on and the workshop fills with the sweet scent of sawdust, our passion for timber framing only grows stronger. Each swing of the hammer, each carefully placed peg is a labor of love – a testament to our unwavering dedication to our craft. It's a labor-intensive process, to be sure, but one that yields results that are nothing short of extraordinary.

The Finished Product:

As the sun dips below the horizon and the workshop falls silent, our attention turns to the fruits of our labor. With pride and satisfaction, we gaze upon the finished product – a testament to the countless hours of hard work and dedication that went into its creation. From custom cabins nestled in the woods to grand timber-framed structures that stand as monuments to craftsmanship, each project is a work of art in its own right.

Behind every timber-framed structure lies a story – a story of passion, dedication, and craftsmanship. Join us on this journey into the heart of the workshop, where every day is an opportunity to create something truly remarkable. From the first cut of the saw to the final stroke of the brush, timber framing is more than just a job – it's a way of life. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
