quiet office at Vermont Timber Works...

It's been a quiet week so far at Vermont Timber Works. Lot's of follow up and searching for new leads in the sales department. We are raising a timber frame in Jamesport Long Island this week for John Mazur. Dan, Rick, Mikey, Jason, & Toddie are on the job. Peter and Doug are in the office and seem to be much quieter with out Dan and Rick around...not sure what that implies! James, Kellin and MJ are in the shop working on the Artzt Project. They are handcrafting decorative heavy timber trusses in eastern white pine. Here's the shop drawing, a very pretty and delicate truss design.
With any luck, I'll have some photos of these trusses soon. Here are some progress shots from the shop. The finish is Minwax Winter White, perfect for a beach house don't you think?

The finials have a few coats of the winter white on them, which is needed to seal them.
Kellin is working on the layout, timber arches are next! James is cutting and MJ is in charge of sanding, chamfering and finishing.

The next stage will be putting these decorative timber trusses together, as we are shipping them out fully assembled.
