Post and Beam Progress...

SOON these rustic oak timbers will be a post and beam barn...enjoy some progress shots and check back often.

All the posts and beams are carefully labeled, joints are pre-fit to insure a proper installation.

Mike hard at work, each timber is hand crafted. No CNC machines at Vermont Timber Works.

Above Kellin is trying not to smile :) as he works with a mortising machine. Once the timbers are fabricated, it's time for sanding and finishing. Below are some of the completed pieces, natural minwax stain and red oak timbers.


MJ and Jason are organizing the finished timbers. (They don't mind the camera). Ruby, of course, is supervising.

Vermont Timber Works will be raising this post and beam timber frame in mid September. Look for us in Auburn, PA.

Post & Beam Raising in Long Island

The Vermont Timber Works crew is in Jamesport, Long Island this week, raising a post and beam timber frame for John Mazur III. Here is a quick progress shot, we are raising this timber frame with a lull instead of a crane.
Thanks for the photo John!

A Post & Beam Pool House by Vermont Timber Works

Post & beam construction is great for many types of buildings. How about a post & beam pool house? The Breed Estate, located in Southern Vermont, enjoys this beautiful douglas fir modified hammer beam design for their pool house.

Above is our post & beam pool house ready to raise, lets go! Raising your timber frame can be quite exciting. At Vermont Timber Works, we do raise many of our frames, but not all of them. Interested in post & beam construction? Give us a call to find out more, 802-886-1917.

Post and Beam & Timber Frame Raising, Very Exciting!

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.
