King Post Design in Eastern White Pine Timbers.

Vermont Timber Works very pretty king post design in eastern white pine. The curved webs create an elegant look, and the traditional joinery is key. Look for finished photos of this pool house soon.

Great job Vermont Timber, Grashow Corp. and Richard Monahan, AIA!

Decorative Timber Beams and Posts ARE a Wonderful Choice.

Do you have a conventionally framed house but wish you had a timber frame? Adding decorative timbers to your conventionally framed house is a wonderful option. Consider timber ceiling beams for your kitchen area.

Ceiling beams and corner posts in your dining room is another idea. If you have a cathedral ceiling in your great room, that is a perfect place for a heavy timber truss. Decorative timbers are bolted to your framing and we can figure out the best way to handle that.

This arched timber truss would be a welcome addition to any home. Call us to find out more 802-886-1917.

Let's add some timber framing to your project...Great idea!

Are you planning to build a timber frame home? Or perhaps a renovation with a post and beam addition, porch or entry? If so, Vermont Timber Works is the custom timber framer for you. We custom design, engineer and hand craft each project. Here are a few ideas for your consideration.

The Cornwall Library timber entry in rough sawn & white washed hemlock, very nice. Or maybe you like the idea of red pine peeled poles supporting your great room timber trusses. Love this one.

Another picture of those gorgeous pine logs, before they left Vermont Timber Works. See the notch? Thank you Rick!


Need a few heavy timber trusses? How about something like our Carl M. Small truss, notice the steel bracing.
