Heavy Timber Frame with Timbers and Columns

Heavy timber construction in Katonah, NY. Douglas Fir Timbers with an FSC specification (because forests matter) and beautiful turned columns that taper. Take a look.
Rick, with the help of Ruby, Kellin and Mike, created 4 of these turned columns. Starting with a 16" diameter turned column and reducing it to 12". The taper creates a smooth transition from the base to the trusses. Great job Rick!
Vermont Timber Works and CREW will be raising this timber frame next week. Look for progress shots from the job site soon.

Thank you Peter Camilli & Sons for choosing Vermont Timber Works as your custom heavy timber framer. Architect George Rosamond has been wonderful to work with, we thank you George. See you soon!
