Fine Homebuilding Timber-Frame Challenge

Half Octagon Timber Frame

By HouseInTheWoods, member

16′ by 30′ timber frame addition to a ten sided house on Lake Champlain in Vermont.  The frame ends in a half octagon to create a very dramatic space.  The frame was cut from local hemlock and finished with Tried and True danish oil.  A challenging project for a great client.
