Hand crafted timber frame structures

The frames

At Rusticate, every timber frame is hand crafted with care and precision, staying true to time-honored traditions. Our structures are built using classic mortise and tenon joinery—a method renowned for its strength, beauty, and longevity—ensuring each piece fits together seamlessly while showcasing the natural character of the wood. For smaller structures where added reinforcement is practical, we also incorporate mechanical fasteners to provide extra durability without compromising the aesthetics. We typically source our timber locally, using white pine for its reliability, workability, and warm appearance. However, when a project requires greater spans, heavier loads, or specific design features, we turn to Douglas fir for its exceptional strength and striking grain. The result is a custom-built frame that balances tradition with practicality, creating a structure that is as strong as it is beautiful.

Our Services

At Rusticate, no two projects are ever the same—we work closely with each client to create a personalized plan that brings their vision to life. Every timber frame is installed by our own team to guarantee the quality and precision of the joinery, ensuring a flawless final result. Beyond the frame itself, we’re here to support you through the entire process: assisting with design and permitting plans, helping connect you with trusted local contractors for foundation work or finishing details, and coordinating the transportation of materials directly to your build site. From start to finish, we make sure your project is handled with care, expertise, and attention to every detail.
