Whether you are planning to build a Timber Frame cottage, chalet, great room addition or permanent residence; the idea of that perfect country home is a dream that we can bring to life. Since 1980, we have integrated the perfect blend of design excellence, precision workmanship, and modern technology, allowing us to set the standard for exceptional timber buildings that are as inherently energy efficient and environmentally friendly as they are strong and beautiful. For projects of any size, our expertise will bring your vision for a Timber Frame home to life, with a finely crafted and complete building system of the highest quality and value.
As custom builders of timber frame homes we strive to deliver outstanding quality and value for our clients. We are your partner for your building project from design to finish or just for the timber frame part.
Our timber frame homes are made from kiln died or green Douglas Fir timbers. The strength and durability of a timber frame home, combined with the beauty of the wood, enable these structures to last for centuries and age with grace. Today's timber frame homes symbolize the fusion of old and new. They offer modern finished living spaces, kitchens and high ceilings that promotes natural living.
We at Whiskey Creek Timber Framing are dedicated to the creation of timber frame buildings which reflect our clients individual taste and ideas. All of our timber frame buildings showcase the precise craftsmanship that only decades of experience is able to produce
Our highly skilled team work in a 10 000 sq.ft timber frame shop. We are equipped with our own sawmill and a dry kiln, allowing us to cut and kiln dry the timbers to guarantee the highest possible quality of material and workmanship for your home right from the start. All our timber frames are pre-fitted in the shop. The joints are scribed tight and the peg holes are tension drilled. This method greatly reduces on site assembly and subsequently crane time.
Douglas Fir, our wood of preference, is the strongest structural wood and features a warm and beautiful color. We also use Red Cedar, mainly for exterior frame work.
Whiskey Creek Timber Framing offers the choice between green (not dried) or kiln dried timbers. The joinery on dry timbers stays tight and doesn't twist. Only dry timbers can be sanded and varnished.
Our dry kiln is big enough to dry two homes at once. It has a capacity of 25000 boardfeet . We use a low temperature computer controlled drying process to ensure the highest quality possible. Our KD timbers show less checking than air dried timbers. They have no honey comb and no cell collapse.
