MORESUN Timber Tidbits
Winter has brought some ice (not fun) and 8" of snow and it was beautiful! The shop is busy and we have many new projects that we look forward to raising. Here's a look at some of what's been going on.

Current Projects

Timber Frame Porch 1

This project is really coming along nicely! We finished raising the main frame of this barn/guest house. We are now raising the white oak porch. We will soon finish up the T&G and roof SIPs. This is a massive structure at approximately 98' x 50' x 27'. We are excited to see what it looks like with all the finishing touches. 

Completed Projects

Scissor Truss 1
Timber Frame Porch 1

We recently installed these gorgeous Douglas fir scissor trusses in a client's home. A scissor truss (also known as a Cathedral truss) is made with double bottom chords that meet in the middle of the truss creating a “scissor” or an inverted-V shape underneath.

Before & After

Historic Restoration Gem 1
Historic Restoration 2

We completed some restoration work at Historic Bethabara Park in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Within the park are historic buildings and gardens, trails, a reconstructed palisade, and colonial village. We reproduced the timber frame as close as possible to the original. The white oak timbers were resawn on our sawmill to the dimensions needed and we hand cut joinery to match the original where possible.
