start with a sketch/ Great Room Timber Trusses

Your great room design may start with a idea, like adding timber trusses. Something like this?

This timber truss design is shown below in a structural nature, see the steel tie rod? Purely decorative with out the steel (i.e. NOT holding the roof up). Hand hewn eastern white pine, with curved beams and corbels at the wall.

Hand Hewn Arched Trusses for a Great Room...

Native white pine timbers were used to create this arched truss. Decorative in nature and hand hewn for that added rustic feel. We worked with Kais Custom Builders on this Katonah, NY residence.

The white pine hand hews the nicest, just ask Todd Jackson. He does most of our hand hewing and he does a great job.

Here is an example of our hand hewn white oak (below) it's much tougher to hand hew than the pine...right Todd?


If you have a timber framing project coming up and would hand crafted detail like this, please call Vermont Timber Works. We would love to work with you.
