Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Vermont Timber Works will be closed 12/24, back in the office 12/28.

Many Reasons To Give Thanks.

Vermont Timber Works is busy, yes busy. We are thankful for this as the economy isn't being kind. We thank our referral clients and repeat architects and designers for thinking of us. We also thank our hard working and dependable crew!

Custom design and hand crafted isn't cheap, not every project is a good fit for us. Below are a few of our favorite timber projects so far from the 2009 year. With any luck, we'll raise one timber dining hall before 2010. Thank you everyone!

Hang on Mikey! Oh my...

The timber arches are glulams, proudly created and supplied by Alamco Wood Products. Arches blend nicely with the natural douglas fir.

Looking up, see the little tree? It's tradition!

Heavy Timber Bear

By our very own Kellin! Interesting idea for a left over timber log, don't you think?

Heavy Timber Trusses Ready to ROLL...

and they better not roll off the truck! Mike and Todd spent a long time loading this, it was tricky.

Good luck Randy and thank you.

Vermont Timber Works Welcomes SPRING & Gets Ready To Mobilize

When you have a jeep, you park where you want! right MJ? At Vermont Timber Works, we get our hands on some fairly large beams.

Maneuvering them around makes for interesting parking arrangements.

These beautiful and LONG douglas fir timbers will be leaving our shop and arriving in Fishkill, NY next week. Vermont Timber Works crew will be building a heavy timber frame for the Fresh Air Fund. THIS is what we will create:


Can't wait!! Today and tomorrow the guys are wrapping up the timber columns. Sanding sanding and more sanding. Kellin is always a good sport about the camera.

Tommy always hides, but I do get him every now and then.

Heavy Timber Super Structure (more photos)

Road Trip! Doug and I went to meet with Ev, John and Ben @ Pizzagalli. We are working with them on the Stowe Mountain Lodge, Phase II, Building D heavy timber trusses.

Well, we could pass up heading over the Spruce Camp base lodge and taking some photos...here they are...

Great room? YES maybe! One of the greatest I've seen :)

Steel joinery was needed as you can see. Double chorded scissor trusses created an 80ft span.

Heavy Timber and Peeled Poles...it happens!

Heavy timber construction and peeled poles...that is what we are working on for the Camp Hayden project in Fishkill, NY. This doulgas fir log will be peeled and fabricated into a support column. Any guesses on the size of this?

Careful MJ!

Here is a look at our shop drawing. Complex timber framing and custom designs.

Before the peeling...

during...MJ and Todd are working hard on this. 5 timber columns in all, and this is not an easy task.

and after...

Done! Great job guys...

Thank you Disdero Lumber Company, we look forward to receiving one more shipment and then all the timber for this project will be in house.
