Heirloom timber frames built to endure.
We preserve historic New England structures and raise new timber frames using hand-hewn white oak and traditional scribe-rule layout. No hidden steel plates. Only structural honesty.
Restoring strength through original scribe marks.
Every barn tells a story of the valley where its timber was felled. We honor that narrative by using matching local species and pre-industrial joinery.

A frame raised by hand carries the quiet strength of the hills.
The Timberwright's Creed
The Scribe-Rule Method
We reject modern metal connectors. We drawbore with local white oak pegs that naturally tighten as the timber seasons, ensuring the frame remains secure for centuries.
