The Katonah Memorial Bathhouse TRUSSES are in!

Another beautifully done commercial timber frame project to share with all of you. The Katonah Memorial Bathhouse Timber Trusses are in and the finish work looks to be just about complete. Location is Bedford, NY.

Vermont Timber Works, coordinating with George Rosamond of Lothrop Associates Architects and Peter Camilli & Sons brought this building back to life. The beautiful douglas fir timbers and turned columns carry an FSC Certification (because forests matter).

Douglas Fir Great Room Trusses

Here we have another beautiful douglas fir timber truss for the Guiliano Residence. Traditional joinery, hardwood pegs cut flush and take a look at those finials. It took more than Kellin and Jason to stand this truss up!

Douglas fir in free of heart spec, planed & chamfered timbers, just gorgeous. Heavy timber construction and timber trusses are not often referred to as furniture...but what the craftsmen at Vermont Timber Works create is awfully close.

This will be a wonderful addition to the Guiliano great room.

Heavy Timber Trusses

King post truss design with extended top chords and an arched bottom chord, traditional joinery, gorgeous!

MJ, Kellin and Todd stand this beautiful douglas fir truss up, just to get a picture...Thanks guys!

Vermont Timber Works custom designs and ships trusses like this one across the country. Many times fully assembled which is a wonderful option.
