All of our timber frames are
handcrafted in our beamery using centuries old traditional
methods. With a framing square, a chalk line, and a level,
craftsmen lay out intricate joinery patterns on carefully selected
timbers. The timbers are then shaped with a variety of specialized
power and traditional hand tools to create quality members
or components. These members together become a finely handcrafted
timber frame structure.

| Styles - Traditional / Contemporary |
| One of the advantages of timber frame construction is its ability to complement a wide variety of architectural styles. You may prefer a traditional style home or something in between. Some home builders use timber frame construction to recreate classic architectural styles like New England Salt Box or Cape Cod. |
| Others choose to emphasize the wide open interior spaces and the expansive use of glass that are possible with timber frame design. Timber framing also allows the use of a full range of exterior and interior finishing treatments with a wide variety of door and window styles. |

Timber frame construction is a unique and special type of architecture, thus requiring some special experience at the planning stage. At Moonstone Timber Frame we work closely with the home owner to design a durable and aesthetic structure, considering features such as function, form, cost and energy efficiency. |
