Timber Frame Raising
These picture are from the raising of the timber frame great room. The timber frame was cut by Architectural Timber and Millworks from a design by Wayne English. The timbers are white oak finished with Dannish Oil. The rasing and enclosure with stress skin panels by Foard Panel was managed by EBS and performed by a cross company team consisting of personnel from: EBS, Architectural Timber and Millworks, Larry Hansen Construction, and Springfield Steel Erectors.
The South bent is raised shortly after noon.
