and interior photos of this North Woods Joinery home.
North Woods Joinery homes have become so popular that we have supplemented our craftspeople with automated timber cutting. Our new 5-axis Hundegger K-2 machine was brought on-line in the spring 2003! Additional images coming soon!
Check out the Articles section of our web site to see some of our beautiful homes in magazines like Timber Frame Homes, Timber Homes Illustrated, Builder/Architect, and Vermont Magazine!
Timberframers, Scott and Travis (above), at work in our shop in Jeffersonville, VT. The knee braces are for a barn frame to be raised in Enosburg, Vermont.
The client chose the wood species of the frame to be done in northeastern hemlock timbers. Hemlock, a wood we work frequently with, will deepen into a rich honey color over time providing visual pleasure over many years to come.
The custom joinery for the frame is hand cut (see below) by the same framers who will be overseeing and helping raise the structure onsite. During the raising any necessary last minute modifications, changes, or potential issues will be dealt with quickly, efficiently, and by the most knowledgeable person available, the timberframer that cut the frame in our shop!
In true timber frame fashion the frame will be held together with large wooden oak pegs; a tradition that is centurys old.

Lori and Cole had some
great ideas for their new home. They incorporated traditional timber framing
and unique round "trees" into the framing. The timbers
were hand shaven, smoothed, and joinery cut in, to produce a very intriguing
and unique frame design. The logs were placed throughout the
home design and as you can see Lori loves her new frame!
