Every post and rafter passes through our workshop benches for traditional hand-chiseled joinery. We square each timber face with draw knives, carving flush mortise-and-tenon joints secured by turned hardwood dowels.
By avoiding flimsy metal brackets and generic fasteners, we ensure every joint expands and contracts naturally through decades of rain and sun without losing structural truth.
Four steps to completion
Sun and grade survey
Regional beam selection
Shop timber framing
Site raising and finish
We visit your property to map natural elevation changes, tree lines, and seasonal sun exposure before drafting structural plans.
We hand-inspect architectural-grade Western red cedar and Douglas fir directly from sustainable coastal sawmills.
Every rafter, knee brace, and post is pre-cut and test-fitted on our workshop trestles to verify seamless tolerances.
Our lead carpenters anchor and raise the finished framing in your garden, sealing the grain with breathable natural exterior oils.
