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.
