Every timber that goes into our homes is hand-crafted by our shop team at our headquarters in Western New York. Unlike post and beam homes, our timber frame designs rely on age old joinery techniques that utilize hand-cut mortise and tenon connection joints. We begin with responsibly sourced timbers, which are cut to length based on drawings by our design department. Depending on the location and use of each timber, our framers will carefully mark out the joinery dimensions and begin cutting. Shaping joinery out of a full timber is a process of reduction. We start with the biggest saw in the shop and whittle the timbers down, progressing from power saws and drills to simple hand chisels, mallets, planers, and razor knives as the intricacies of the timber frame emerge. By using these traditional timber framing methods we create a home rooted in nature and in centuries of craftsmanship. See for yourself in our timber frame image gallery. These techniques are on display in every joint and every timber of our homes.
