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.

time to ship some great room trusses
Many times Vermont Timber Works can ship great room trusses fully assembled. This makes the install on job site much quicker and easier. MJ and Jason worked carefully with our GMH Transport driver and loaded 11 custom designed and handcrafted great room trusses.
Guiliano Trusses are douglas fir timbers and Artzt Trusses are eastern white pine timbers. Both joined with traditional mortise and tenon joinery.
Looks to be just about loaded, hey MJ, watch out for Ruby!
The truck loading experience usually includes watching out for Ruby (and Kramer) who both make a point of being in the way. Barking at the trucker the entire time!
Ready? Let's get these great room timber trusses on the road.
Jason, stop goofing around!
