As custom builders of conventional and timber frame
homes since 1980, 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.top |

Shop |
|
Our highly skilled team work in a 5000 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. |

The Wood |
|
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. |

Dry Kiln |
|
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. |
