Timber frame and log… together

For those who love the idea of a home built of massive timbers, but also want bright interior spaces, tall ceilings, and superior insulation (three things that log cabins are not known for), a timber frame home is the ideal choice.
Here we have a vintage timber frame that we added to an existing log home… an amazing combination.
The two had never met… the log cabin… and the timber frame… but it was easy to see once they stood next to each other, that it was a match made in heaven.

A timber framed attic space can create such a charming room.

It’s a shame that so many timber frame companies focus on “grand… on huge… on sweeping… massive… and barn like” and ignore the potential of creating intimate spaces.

(BTW… I designed and built this one)

When it comes to timber framing there is not finer example to be found than those within a grist mill, where timbers needed to be large and plentiful to handle the weight and stresses of the machinery and grain found within a water powered mill.

Perfectionism

I do like the little gap seen where an angle brace meets the post. So often today we come to expect perfection… something that is not seen often in handmade creations. I find that the quest for perfection holds so many back from ever attempting to do something, or to finish. Certainly strive to do something as well as you can, but beware of the curse of perfectionism.

For those who wanted the look and feel of ancient timbers, but want more light, and height, a timber frame can’t be beat.

Within nearly every old mill you will likely discover a massive timber frame structure.

It takes great strength to withstand the might of a river, the movements of large machinery, and the weight of tons of grains.

A timber frame is up to the task.

And if it works for a mill… just imagine how well it serve you as part of your home.

It doesn’t take that much more effort, nor that much more material, to frame up a home with timbers rather than by using laminated lumber from Home Depot, but the difference in appearance and durability is amazing.

You know, she may not be the most attractive home, but thanks to her construction of timber and stone, she still stands strong after many years.
