Decorative Timber Beams...Always a GOOD Idea.

Adding timber beams to your home? How about reclaimed white oak for the most rustic feel. At Vermont Timber Works we are able to source reclaimed, recycled and standing dead timbers from across the country. Be ready to pay more and wait longer though for the reclaimed.


I have fallen in love with our hand hewn white oak. This sample was hewn by our very own TODD, great job.

If you were to ask me which beams add elegance with a rustic feel, I would recommend Vermont Timber Works hand hewn white oak.


Need an Arched Timber Beam? How about our Douglas Fir Glulams? Smooth finish and gentle arch, just gorgeous. Adding top chords and an arch like this would create a simple but elegant look. Of course, that would not hold the roof up!


Rough Sawn Native Hemlock beams, rustic and light in color. Wonderful choice for a rustic timber frame look. Posts in the corners and ceiling beams, maybe a few braces. It will look like a full timber frame!


Douglas Fir Timber Beams...If you would like more of a formal, finished look, here you go. Beautiful douglas fir with a clear sealer so the natural color comes through. Douglas Fir deepens in color over time, becoming even more beautiful. Penofin Marine Oil is a nice option for a hand rubbed finish.

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.

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

Timber Ceiling Beams & Decorative Posts by VTW

Sometimes just some timber ceiling beams can do wonders for a design. Not a full timber frame, but decorative heavy timber here and

there...

or maybe there?

Very nice Vermont Timber Works! If your budget doesn't allow for a custom hand crafted full timber frame, or if maybe you just don't want one (WHAT?) I know, I know it happens. If you like the look of the timber beams and posts, we can incorporate them into your design as you wish.
