Timber Framing to New Heights

Can’t be afraid of heights in our timber framing group. Vermont Timber Works most recent timber framing stands @ about 60ft high…don’t look down, or go ahead…if you dare.

Hi Dan!

Our fabulous audience!

MJ, what are you doing way down there….or, what are we doing way up here?  Right, taking lots of awesome pictures.

Phase one complete, of our timber framing portion. Great job, great team Vermont Timber Works, Sullivan Brothers, Jack Delaney, P.E., Don Hammerberg, AIA., and Holy Apostles College & Seminary.

Vermont in the FALL.

The drive to work this time of year is the prettiest of all the seasons. If you work in Vermont that is! Vermont Timber Works is located in North Springfield and our timber framers love this time of year. Putting heavy timber trusses together in the yard, not too hot, not too cold.

We all know that snow is just around the corner, but for now, we are enjoying our beautiful foliage and comfortable weather.

Think Timber Frame Pergola

Timber pergola by the pool, very nice idea.  Vermont Timber Works works closely with clients to insure their needs are met.  This is a beautiful additional to an already fabulous home!

Summer Flowers

Granted, it is only 68 degrees at noon on July 7th, but summer has come to Vermont Timber Works.

Sandy took some great flower photos.

I think I’ll staple them over my desk or maybe over our wood structure engineering, timber job estimating, or design department doors, so we can appreciate the colors now, before…

…it all looks like this again!

Giraffe Size

It takes a gigantic crane or two to assemble a timber structure.

It takes a hard hat too.

Sometimes many hard hats.

Macho macho man da da da da…how does that song go?

Somehow, I can’t picture our shop guys dancing!

Ruby Boxer

Hi, my name is Ruby.  I’m a beautiful boxer and I belong to Dan.  I like to bark, drool, sleep and help out around our timber framing shop.

This timber is eastern white pine and has a hand hewn finish.  The timber framing tool that was used is called an adze.  I bet you are very surpised that I knew that!  Hey, I’ve been doing this since 1987!

That was hard work, time for my nap…See you next time!  XXOO Ruby Boxer

A Leg to Stand On

Vermont Timber Works builds lovely wood columns. I especially like this stone and timber combination.

These brick and timber columns look nice too. But we don’t make just a leg to stand on.

Tall or short columns, we build them right…to last, esthetically through time.
