Walnut Timber Frame Residence, Charity, MO
This project owner harvested walnut trees off of their family farm that we ran through our sawmill. In the sawmill process, the center of the log is used to produce one single timber.

James River Residence, Nixa, MO
This project ,we assisted owners with the design for a complete timber frame roof system including a (SIPS) Structural Insulated Panel System roof decking. The owners appreciated the rough sawn texture of timbers cut using a circle sawmill but did not want the larger cracks associated with using the center of the log (Boxed Heart). To avoid this,we supplied this project using a kiln dried, (FOHC) Free Of Heart Center, Douglas fir timbers. FOHC timbers are cut avoiding the center of the log. Depending on the size of log being cut, the sawmill can only get 2-4 timbers per log. This cut requires very large diameter logs which we bring in from the Pacific Northwest. We also supplied the structural engineering, timber and (SIPS) material packages, fabrication, stain and finish, delivery and installation.
