BGG had the unique opportunity to check out a timber frame home being constructed by the province’s best timber framer Michael Krans of Timmerman Timberworks. The precision these carpenters exercise is incredible – they put the Inca’s to shame – as they flew in the timbers by crane, the pieces slid perfectly into place every time!
Timber framing is the structural equivalent of framing with 2×6, except one you cover with drywall and siding, the other you highlight. It was clear to me by the detailed joinery that Mike and his crew were true craftsmen who loved the trade.
