MORESUN Timber Tidbits
Another hot, humid, and stormy summer has rolled into our area. The summer heat has been rough but the shop is pushing through it by staying busy and hydrated (and getting on the river).
Here's a look at some of what's been going on.

The MoreSun Team

New Showroom

Our new showroom is opening soon. We are excited to share all of the hard work and special details that have gone into this custom build. Check our social media pages for updates and details on our upcoming open house. We would love to see you there!

From Shop to Site

We love when a client has timbers from their own property that they want to incorporate into their design. This frame was built with a variety of hardwoods that were cut and milled on site by the client. The timbers were shipped to us and cut in our shop. After raising the frame we partnered with Acme Panel to install SIP panels. Each family member helped by hammering in the final pegs.

We were thrilled to return to a client's property to raise a second entrance gate, crafted from 24" x 24" southern yellow pine timbers. 


stu mays

We welcomed Stu May to the MoreSun team! He fell in love with timber framing because of its relation to traditional and sustainable practices. Stu was a student in the 2026 Heartwood School timber framing class held at our shop.

Borgund Stave Church

The Borgund Stave Church in Norway is one of the most remarkable medieval wooden buildings in existence. Not a single metal nail was used in the structure.
