Just started wrapping my first timber frame today in pine, I gotta say the build was super fast and fun! Just me and the home owner, a big ol lull and a great view!! Can't wait to do another!!

Watch out--timber framing is highly addictive. Seriously, congratulations and welcome to the best industry and people I've ever known.

If I knew someone doing this in my area, I might quit my job to do this... I miss being outside

Never heard that one! How about skills and teamwork blend, with every barn, new friendships ascend?

Love the bents.

Wow…that’s quite the crew! I can only imagine how much effort goes into that level of commitment and skill. I think I’m going to start with a post and beam doghouse first…for real. Love natural God made wood. Tiling sucks!

Recently saw this good quote about wood: “Wood, if you stop to think of it, has been man’s best friend in the world. It held him in his cradle, went to war as the gunstock in his hand, was the frame of the bed he came to rejoicing, the log upon his hearth when he was cold, and will make him his last long home. It was the murmuring bough above his childhood play, and the roof over the first house he called his own. It is the page he is reading at this moment; it is the forest where he seeks sanctuary from a stony world.” ― Donald Culross Peattie, American Heartwood

Are those Timberlinx A475s for the post bases? What material is that black square between the concrete and the post bottom?

Good eye! Yes, the post bases are A475s, and the square is a piece of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene.

@@carolinatimberworks Thanks, that method looks very neat and clean. I've looked at the Timberlinx product page but haven't seen many examples of implementation.

Nice...and the wood is...???

Thanks for asking. Red oak on the interior timber framing, and white oak on the exterior (for durability). When circle sawn (or rough sawn), it's hard to see the difference.

Really nice would you recommend using Douglas fir?
