Timber Frame Kitchens

Reclaimed wood beams and barn boards in a party barn kitchen — Reclaimed wood beams and reclaimed barn boards in a North Carolina Party Barn

Kitchen beams in mountain lodge — Douglas fir beams support a barrel vault brick ceiling in this mountain lodge kitchen.

reclaimed wood beams and brown barn board in Greenwich CT kitchen — Reclaimed weathered hewn beams and brown barn board create a warm and welcoming Guest House kitchen in Greenwich, CT.

pine beams in french country kitchen charlotte nc — For this French Country style kitchen in Charlotte, North Carolina, we milled the Eastern White Pine timbers on an old circular saw mill (instead of a modern band saw). Sawing with on a circular saw mill produces curved saw blade marks instead of the less interesting vertical up-and-down marks left by today’s faster bandsaws.

Kitchen ceiling beams standing dead spruce — Standing Dead Spruce was selected for this family lodge in Headwaters not far from the community of Todd, North Carolina. The reason? The builder and architect wanted to minimize future timber shrinkage by specifying dry timber.

rustic lake house kitchen with timber framed ceiling and round cypress logs — Finding the right lake property took years, but once located, the owners, who own a contracting company, moved quickly and built the lake house they’d always dreamed of owning. Shown here is the kitchen, and in the foreground, their dining table which looks out onto the lake.

Rustic kitchen with Bald Cypress buttress logs and timber framing — Bob Mann of A.T.T.I.C. Design in Banner Elk often combines round logs and rectangular timber beams…as shown here in this Linville Ridge home. The logs are Bald Cypress and were specially cut at the mill to include the flaring of the lower trunk, or buttress.
