Let's RAISE your
Timber Frame!
Now this is the most exciting part, the raising of your post and beam frame (my opinion of course)! The crew at
Vermont Timber Works takes as much pride and care in their raisings as they do in fabrication and assembly. The handcrafted quality shows. Take a look at some of my personal favorite timber frame raisings...
Our Brigham Hill Barn.
The Charney Residence Post and Beam Home was my first raising. It was so fun to watch and I learned so much about our traditional joinery. Coordination between the crane and the Vermont Timber Works team needs to be right on!
Here is our Kenny Stable Horse Barn, which can be found on Martha's Vinyard. These lucky horses are surrounded by beautiful
douglas fir timbers, planed & chamfered for a smooth and classic look.
If you like something a bit more rustic, take a look at our Sand's Barn. This post and beam party barn features rough sawn and weathered hemlock timbers. AND traditional joinery, of course!
This last photo is a great one. Mikey hammering in those joinery pegs. Great job Vermont Timber Works.
Well, mine isn't. (I don't even have a guest house). This guest house is all post and beam constructed. Traditional joinery and arched beams in beautiful douglas fir timbers.
Planed & chamfered with a clear poly sealer. See the natural color of the wood? Douglas fir will continue to age and become deeper in color over time. The Duker guest house is the 3rd post and beam barn on the estate. Very nice Vermont Timber!
Our Brigham Hill Barn. 
Curved beams and arches create a wonderful timber entry for this North Conway, NH Church. Our Lady of the Mountains.
Traditional joinery and planed and chamfered timbers, designed and engineered for the North Conway area. The porte cochere is also douglas fir timber, select structural and painted.
Painting the timber usually makes me cringe, but in this case, I really like the finished result. Good job Vermont Timber Works & Richard Monahan!
