Timber frame construction offers
tremendous versatility in style and
appearance. An
old-world look can be accomplished
using either reclaimed antique timbers or
new timbers with a hand-hewn or
hand-planed finish. A
formal atmosphere
can be created by using planed timbers
with chamfered edges, arched braces, and
other embellishments. A more informal
country or even rustic,
barn-style
look is accomplished with rough sawn
timbers, straight braces, and simple,
straightforward design. A modern or
contemporary
interior is accomplished using
planed timbers with slightly rounded
edges, a light stain, and a design that
features clean, straight lines.
Species selection and surface finish play
major roles in defining the look and feel
of a timber frame. We provide high-quality
timber in several
species, including southern yellow
pine, eastern white pine, red and white
oak, Douglas fir, and cypress. For
surface finish, we offer
rough-sawn, machine planed, hand planed,
hand-hewn, and hand-scraped surfaces to
provide you with the look and texture you
desire. We have developed a reliable
network of professional suppliers who
consistently provide us with high quality
material.
