Commercial Timber Frames

Our Work

Some of our favorite commercial timber frame projects.

Commercial Timber Frames
Talk with our team. We’re nice!
Commercial Timber Frame Front Entry
Two Douglas Fir King Post trusses with curved braces create shelter and and a welcoming entry to the Clubhouse at Black Point at Linville Falls
Reclaimed beams lucchese retail store Houston TX
The Houston store is the fourth and largest in the brand’s storied history. Century old reclaimed beams and paneling form the perfect backdrop for drop-dead gorgeous boots and bags. The rough wood look and feel makes the upscale treasures even more glamorous!
Commercial timber frame entry at Avery County Humane Society
Timber frame entry welcomes clients and volunteers to the Avery County Humane Society in Newland, NC. A cheerful greeting on a cold, snowy day
Commercial timber frame entry at Lees-McRae college
Pairs of timber posts add visual interests to a contemporary timber frame entry at the Student Rec complex at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, NC.
Timber Frame Commercial clubhouse
A favorite design choice of ours is the gently curved knee brace or struts. This softens the heavy lines, for a more organic look and feel. This Community Center with private pool and waterfalls, is just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, close to Linville Falls, North Carolina. Carolina Timberworks crafted and installed the Douglas Fir timber frame covered porches.
timber frame historical restoration
There’s something about Scissor Trusses that really catch the eye, right? Without a center King Post, they seem especially light. This was a historical timber restoration project we did for St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Two of the trusses were damaged in a wind storm. We used matching species (Antique Heart Pine), and even went so far as to cut the joinery on site without power tools in Lincolnton, NC.
Timber frame clubhouse at the Headwaters at Banner Elk
A light and airy timber frame design at the clubhouse in Headwaters at Banner Elk. The light, clean grain of Douglas Fir partners with structural metal tie rods to allow spectacular mountain views.
timber frame office space
Our client wanted his offices to have the look and feel of a mountain lodge. Timber frame construction fit the bill, and built and ininstalled rough sawn Western Red Cedar trusses in the Treadstone Group’s corporate headquarters in Denver, NC. The inspiration for the fireplace and mantel came from the Bob Timberlake Gallery.

timber frame shop boone nc
Carolina Timber Works co-owner Eric Morley (posing) and Greg Calloway (standing) with the largest radio-frequency kiln dried Douglas Fir timber east of the Mississippi. This magnificent timber is 8″ x 30″ x 20′ and free-of-heart-center (FOHC)!
Medical Facility Timber Frame Porte Cochere Entry
A commercial timber framed Porte Cochere at Boone Dermatology’s new clinic in Boone, North Carolina. Porte-cochère is french and translated means ‘coach gateway’. A working definition we like is ‘a covered entrance large enough for vehicles to pass through and pick up and drop off dignitaries…’
timber frame medical offices
David Patrick Moses, the architect on this project, simply wows us with the sheer size of these very large (12″ x 12″) Douglas Fir posts in the waiting room of Boone Dermatology. The timbers were box heart (meaning they were cut so as to include the center of the tree) and one characteristic of box heart timber is that it tends to check (split) more as it dries than free-of-heart timber. This add character without sacrificing structure.
Commercial timber frame Sugar Mountain Clubhouse
King Post trusses of rough-sawn Eastern White Pine grace the porch of the Clubhouse of Sugar Mountain Ski Resort. Designed by Pavelchak Architecture, and built by Enterline & Russell Builders of Blowing Rock, NC.
Commercial timber frame town hall meeting room
For a multi-purpose meeting room, such as the Sugar Mountain Town Hall, timber frame construction and timber trusses create beautiful spaces for public discussion.
Timber frame winery pavilion
There’s something important about the experience of being in a timber frame. Certainly there’s the undeniable beauty of timber framing, almost art at times. But perhaps there’s another more subtle benefit–on some unconscious level we feel a sense of security and safety living under a timber frame roof. Unlike a stick-framed structure, in a timber framed building, we can see exactly what is holding up the roof, keeping us safe when nature’s bad side shows up. Grandfather Vineyard & Winery’s timber frame pavilion sees a lot of use. In addition to weddings, music events, private dinners, and wine-tastings, here it serves as the venue for a meeting of the local home builders association
Timber frame post and beam bus shelter
This bus shelter is located close by our shop. The funny thing is that Appalachian State University students won’t stand under it unless it’s raining. We think it needs a bench…

Metal plate post and beam commercial timber frame
