Back In Full Swing

The winter season always takes a toll on the building industry in New England.  The longer the snow hangs around, the longer projects are put on hold.

This spring was pretty quiet here at VTW.  The shop slowed in production and the workers felt the sting of the lingering winter...
But now that there's  promise of brighter days ahead, the shop is back in full swing and the mood is light.

Projects are plentiful and they keep piling up.  The shop will be buzzing with sawdust and country music and the sound of timber framers custom crafting at their best.

We are currently working on a few pavilions, a big horse barn in New Jersey, and even a dentist's office.

Keep up the good work Vermont Timber Works...

Frame on!

TIMBER....I'm falling in love.....



Have you ever walked into a building so beautiful it was love at first site?

That's what tends to happen when you enter the Southern Vermont Welcome Centeron Interstate 91, or the Spruce Peak Lodge in Stowe, VT.

At Vermont Timber Works, we are the Cupids of Craftsmen.
Once we get your attention, you will fall in love with one of our projects.
Guaranteed.

Back at Vermont Timber Works...

Today is my second day back at Vermont Timber Works after being gone for more than 3 years.
Even though some things have changed a great deal, there are so many familiarities that make me smile.
I can hear the tools buzzing in the workshop from my desk as the crew creates our newest magnificent frame   .  The pellet stove whirs in the background and warms the room while the smell of sawdust and urethane fill the office with a pleasantly strong odor of hard work in progress.

Whether it's a barn, a church, a home or a commercial building, everything that is shipped from this location is one of a kind.  That too is a comfort in itself.  I know that I am in a place where not only the people, but the product is unique...
and to me that just feels like home.
