Just a few finished pictures of our Camp Haden Dining Hall. Incredible project from start to finish. Thank you to the team players! The Geddis Partnership, Storm King Contracting, The Fresh Air Fund and Vermont Timber Works, Inc.
Interior, the contrast between the heavy timber construction and the light colors are stunning.
Even the red is something else. Let's work on another one John B. !! 
Camp Hayden Dining Hall, Fresh Air Fund, Fishkill, NY.
Now that is a dining hall! Heavy timber construction creates large open spans, supported by timber columns and steel joinery. I can only imagine how beautiful this room is at night, see the up lighting? More pictures may be needed of this project.
This design was originally sent to us in steel. We were asked to take a look in heavy timber. With an over 66ft top chord in glulam and the rest in natural douglas fir timber, here is our heavy timber design.
Personally, I love it. This timber frame project will be interesting and challenging! I'll keep you posted as design decisions are made...
It's a wonderful idea. Big open spans, timber trusses with steel tie rods and webbing. Sometimes a glulam beam is needed. Not in this case!
Beautiful heavy timber trusses with arched braces are being considered for a Florida Church Project. We have been approached for preliminary design and pricing. What do you think?
14 Common Trusses, 2 Valley Trusses and 1 Small Entry Truss. We are waiting for feedback from the architect...

Timber Frame Pavilion
Amphitheater with Curved Timber Beams
Vermont Timber Works travels across the country to raise there timber frames. Many commercial projects have multiple timber buildings. The featured project shown above is all douglas fir timber, traditional joinery and steel joinery as needed and can be found in Barrington, Illinois.Each project is unique...
from the Southern Vermont Welcome Center hand hewn barn frame to the Vermont Teddy Bear king post truss. Vermont Timber Works has been custom designing, engineering and hand crafting heavy timber framing for over 20 years.
Working with architects, general contractors and end users for projects like the modified king post truss shown above. (Green Mountain Suites) AND the hammer beam shown below.
This heavy timber ski lodge is worth a second look...80ft octagon with douglas fir timbers and steel joinery.
Merry Christmas Everyone! Vermont Timber Works will be closed 12/24, back in the office 12/28.
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!

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