Custom Timber Frame Barn Project in New York

8x16x34’ timber preparing to be cut by the Hundegger

The Davis Timber Frame shop just finished working on a timber frame barn that will be built in the Hudson Valley of New York. The Douglas fir frame will feature two 34' span timber frame trusses incorporating metal rods and hardware. The purpose of the metal rods and hardware for this barn is both for support and for looks! Although we typically work with oak pegs and use traditional timber frame joinery, we have also worked with several clients to incorporate metal hardware and other custom finish details.

Working with clients on custom details is what sets Davis Frame Co. apart from the rest!

Timber Frame Home in Gloucester Massachusetts

Jeff Amero has worked with his hands all his life, first as a welder in Gloucester, Massachusetts, shipyards and currently as owner of J&L Welding and Machine Company. With a father who is a retired machinist, it seems that Jeff was born to be an artisan.

When he and wife Lillian acquired a 30-acre wooded tract overlooking the Massachusetts Bay and village of Magnolia, they already knew that they would build a timber frame home. "Timber frames epitomize what a home should be-expansive, yet inviting enough to welcome guests," Jeff says.

The Ameros believe that wood, iron and stone are uniquely complementary materials, so each is a central element in their home. "We feel a powerful affinity to these materials, which, to us, define Old World quality." The most distinctive wood elements are the Douglas fir timbers, while stone is represented in the great room's massive fireplace and granite countertops in the kitchen. And since Jeff runs a machine shop, he was able to handcraft impressive iron details such as staircase banisters and the brackets supporting the hearth's loose stones...............To read more about this impressive timber frame home, visit our timber frame articles webpage!
