MORE Great Room Trusses in Douglas Fir Timber

These douglas fir timbers will soon be a modified hammer beam truss, installed in a beautiful Connecticut home. 4 Great Room Trusses to be exact.

Can you picture it? Vermont Timber Works very own MJ and Todd sand and finish the douglas fir timbers before any assembly begins. Imagine trying to stain the trusses after the assembly, no thank you.

Before the stain...
And after. Our clients chose Minwax # 225 Red Mahogany, I think they'll love it.


Below is a typical sketch that we send our clients with our preliminary proposal. Official timber frame shop drawings and engineering begins once an order has been placed.

UPDATE! I spoke with Paul, trusses aren't in yet, but soon. We look forward to pictures from the jobsite and will certainly post them.
