Meet the Framers
We are a dedicated team of skilled craftsmen focused on quality carpentry and creating spaces that foster connection—both between people and with the natural world. Our timber framing combines structural beauty with social accountability and environmental responsibility.
We prioritize sustainability by sourcing Pine and Hemlock from small, local mills. This not only reduces our carbon footprint but also supports the local economy.
With years of experience in a wide range of projects—from rustic workshops to large barns and high-end homes—we are committed to bringing our best to every stage of the design and building process. Our expertise in timber frame construction ensures meticulous finishing of these one-of-a-kind structures.
As a 100% employee-owned company, we value transparency and collective responsibility. Currently transitioning to a cooperative business model, we ensure that every team member has a stake in the success of each project. This means you’re investing directly in the labor and craftsmanship of the people who build your space, not in someone else's profit.

Laurel Wallace | Owner & Builder
Laurel’s building journey began with a rustic cabin in the woods, complete with a distinctive round green door. Hailing from California, where she spent much of her time immersed in nature, her passion for the environment led her to earn a BS in Biology. After managing a regenerative sheep farm in Whitefield for several years, she transitioned into timber framing, discovering a fulfilling way to create beautiful and functional homes. Laurel expertly handles project organization and planning while also cutting joinery, blending her love for nature with her craftsmanship.
