Stunning Church with Heavy Timber Construction
The Christ Episcopal Church in Springfield, MO. Vermont Timber Works hand crafted the heavy timber trusses for the chapel area. Notice the steel tie rod, needed for strength. Although these douglas fir arched trusses are very pretty, they are also structural. (As we put it, they are holding up the world).
The Vermont Timber Works CREW traveled to Missouri, assembled and set these breathtaking trusses in place. Let us pray.


Below is the view that Denise and I get on our way into work. Not bad, huh? 

Don't miss it! Includes a timber frame barn, welcome center with mini-museum, travel info and of course bathrooms :)
