Pretty Little Post and Beam

Post and beam homes do not need to be large.  This is a favorite, our Chase House.  24 x 40 and a wonderful starter home and a great project for us.

Looking for a beautiful post and beam home?

Look no further!

Beautiful post and beam homes of all designs and sizes are available from Vermont Timber Works.  Hand crafted timbers are fabricated in their North Springfield VT location and shipped to your job-site for raising.  Many projects begin with some basic ideas and are created from there. Working with you, your architect, your builder, whatever you need to feel comfortable.  23 years of experience is waiting to hear from you.  Call us 802-886-1917 or email.

Post and Beam Poodle

Kramer is our post and beam poodle.  At Vermont Timber Works most of the time, he watches over us.  Making sure we are protected from visitors as well as the UPS man.

Kramer enjoys taking naps on Julie and her keyboard tray.

Even when not feeling well, Kramer comes to work.  He is a trooper!

The cone didn’t last long,  we just couldn’t take it!  T-Shirt worked for a while.

Baby it’s cold outside…

Let’s go inside this pretty post and beam home hang out by the fireplace with some hot cocoa.  Sounds good,  I hope Mark doesn’t mind the company!

Hand hewn white pine timbers are a beautiful contrast in this design.  I wonder where the cabinetry came from?  And that stone fireplace is gorgeous!

Here is our erected timber frame. Vermont Timber Works scope usually ends here and the general contractor takes over.

Great Room Additions

Many times the additional to a home becomes a great room. An open gathering space for family to relax, unwind and just be together. Getting that big open space can be a beautiful accomplishment with post and beam construction and timber beams.

Looking up into the loft…

Looking down from the loft…

The fireplace and /or hearth with wood stove is always welcome in a New England Project!

Chapel Progress, Incredible!

The NEW Chapel for Holy Apostles is making incredible progress! OR should I say Sullivan Brothers and all their subcontractors are? Either way, this timber frame project is stunning and all involved are very happy.

Incredible Post and Beam Chapel

Vermont Timber Works is proud to have been chosen for the Chapel for Holy Apostles project.  From the first visit with Jack Delaney, P.E. to meeting Father Mosey during the raising, a wonderful experience.  Thank you everyone.  Look for many more photos soon, as I’m just posting this quick.

We have a GREAT crew!!

I’ll Wait in the Lobby, Thank You

Lobbies have always captured my attention while traveling. They can say,

“welcome” or “keep on walking!”

When lobby designers use heavy timber, it always says welcome…have a cup of tea…read your newspapers…meet someone special.

Where are the roasted chestnuts? Yes, another Grand Marnier, please,

while I check out these beams.

The Art of Angle

Some angles speak for themselves. Something like “ahhhh”…is what comes out of me.

Some angles are nice to study, to see all that the architect created. The angles seem to play with you…the eye cannot rest.

No mediocre here!

It’s never just a building when heavy timber is involved.

Pretty Little Pegs

Pegs, unaccompanied, hold these timber joints together.

When I look at structures built by Vermont Timber Works, that fact never ceases to amaze me. Pegs can be strong! They are really just simple wood sticks yet,

intricately positioned, pegs create a counter force that is strong enough to face weather changes, the earth shifting and, of course, heavy loads.

Pegs are much prettier than nails, screws, or bolts so I like VTW’s traditional joinery best.

The arch is pretty cool too.
