In the words of one of our clients, “raising day was an event you will never forget.”
The process of creating timber frames starts on paper, with a design and selection of wood species. Next comes cutting the timbers in the shop and the timber frame raisings on site. Then finishing the structure completes the project. These steps become the timber frame’s story. Whether your timber frame is a home, a porch, an outbuilding, or an interior detail, seeing it evolve is captivating.
Timber frame raisings are the culmination of a lot of hard work and planning. Small frames can sometimes be hand raised, but using a crane or other equipment is much more common. Ask almost any timber framer and they’ll tell you the raising is their favorite part of the process. At MoreSun we can attest to that!
While we all appreciate seeing a finished lived-in home or building, the beauty of a frame itself can’t be denied. Take a look at these timber frames and their narratives.
