In 1984,
Hearthstone began crafting Timber Frame homes from boxed heart of white oak. Our
timberwrights, having garnered years of experience in the art of log building, found
timberframing to be a natural extension of their skills. Timberframing, an ancient
method of construction which is distinguished by its massive posts and beams interlocked
with mortise & tenon joinery, can be designed to complement any building style. |

Timber
Frames can be cut in the wood of your
choice. The frame is planed with chamfered edges and then left exposed on the interior of
the home - creating a breathtaking effect of open spaces and craftsmanship rarely seen in
this century. The exterior of the frame is covered with a highly energy-efficient
blanket of foam core panels. The result is a home of unmatched beauty, value, energy
efficiency, and design flexibility. Frames cut from Eastern White Pine, Douglas Fir, or Cypress can be WeatherAged™.
For a truly rustic look and feel, we can hand-hew a softwood frame and then WeatherAge it. See the Curry Hybrid home for a good look at this beautiful combination of textures.
