Timber Framing and Timber Frame Education in Duluth Minnesota

Building is a process that revolves and evolves around conversations. The more care is taken in considering all aspects and persons involved, the better the result will be. Whether you are looking to start a conversation or would like me to join into one, please feel free to get in touch.
Teardrop-Trailer-And-Vehicle Car Port


At 42 feet long it provides space for parking the trailer and the car and a bit of space in between to load up the car before heading out.

It is cut from my favorite white pine, left rough sawn, no chamfers. The owners wanted the stocky solid look that one gets with full 8×8 posts.

The bracing is my preferred 3-4-5 pattern that is a bit steeper than the more common 45˚ bracing. Additionally a slight curve cut into the face adds elegance.

Due to its length there are two scarf joints in each plate and the ridge. This also allows for a crew of two and a small hand crank to raise this structure.

In the shop: Lots of tools, lots of cutoffs, lots of beautiful all traditional joinery and only the best materials for the finish.
Custom made post bottom brackets from Cutting Edge Metals helped make raising much smoother.
