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!

Horse Barn designed with Heavy Timber Construction...

and our Vermont Timber Works CREW is raising the horse barn this week. Although it was a bit chilly loading and unloading the truck on last Friday, the weather this week has been quite nice. Today will be in the low to mid 60's.
Megan is on the job site capturing photos and videos for us and for the client. Doug stopped by on his way into work and 2 bents are UP and progress is being made.


Two lucky horses, possibly tennesee walkers will enjoy this timber frame barn.


Here is a fine example of a TWH, courtesy of Home of South Texas Walkers. Beautiful boy!

Vermont Timber Works NEW brochure is available online!

We have our updated brochure available online. Also available via postal mail, which ever you prefer.

In our brochure and on our website you'll find many photos of custom designed heavy timber projects for commercial and residential, sample shop drawings, and sometimes 3d renderings. Every project is unique to meet the individual needs of our clients.

Thank you Wade @ Snyder Concepts for all your help with this update.

VTW Welcomes September and New Heavy Timber Projects.

Vermont Timber Works welcomes September and a busy fall schedule. As we wrap up the heavy timber projects in the shop (Rich Barn, Ayers Trusses), many are on their way (Blackwood Barn, Blackwood Residence, Hacker Valley, White Mountain Admin, Neely Residence) and some are in the engineering and shop drawing phase (Westbrook Middle School, Cox Natatorium, Notre Dame Academy).

Leaves are begining to change, but searching for new heavy timber construction projects has not. Travis and I (and perhaps a 3rd) are finding much to bid on. Currently Rick's desk is full of timber frame projects that need estimates. Welcome Centers, Park Pavilions, Commercial Timber Buildings and Residential Projects. If the project mentions heavy timber, we are all over it!

Rainy WEEK @ Vermont Timber Works

So, it's been raining all week...and we need to bundle and load 2 timber frame projects...what to do? Can't wait for the rain to stop that's for sure.


How about making a roof for the fork truck with a Starfire wrap? Tom must think he's gonna melt? Anyway, good idea!
Davis Residence timber frame (part 2) and the remaining Rosenthal Project will be delivered by GMH Transport on Monday. Long Island, here we come!
