Meet the Framers
We are a team first and foremost dedicated to quality carpentry and creating spaces for connection between people and with the natural world. Building timber frames brings together structural beauty, social accountability, and environmental responsibility.
We use locally sourced Pine and Hemlock from small mills. This helps reduce our carbon foot print and keeps the local economy going.
We have worked together professionally with a wide variety of frames and other projects under our belts ranging from rough work shops to large barns and high end homes. Our interest moving forward to is to take projects from the ground up bringing the very best we can to the entire design and building process. Our familiarity with timber frame construction gives us experience in finishing these unique structures.
Our business is and will always be 100% employee owned company with transparency. We are in the process of setting up as a cooperative business. This gives everyone working ownership in the business and a greater investment in the success of each project. It also means that you the client are not paying someone’s profit but rather directly to the labor and support of the craftspeople and workers.

His attention to detail keeps projects on track.
Laurel Wallace
Laurel began her building journey with a rough cabin in the woods that needed to have a round green door. Her roots are in California where spent she most of her time deep in the woods. A love of the natural world lead her to get a BS in Biology. After running a regenerative sheep farm in Whitefield for several years she jumped into Timber Framing and found a satisfying way to build beautiful and functional homes.
