This spectacular timber framed home was featured in Timber Frame Homes magazine
in 1997. It has appeared on at least two covers.
The design of this home was a collaboration between Architect Charlie Burris of
College Station and Red Suspenders Timber Frames. Mr. Burris was responsible for
the overall design while we were responsible for the timber frame design. This collaboration
has produced several other timber frame homes of note.
The graceful arches and soaring ceilings of this home give it a majestic yet comfortable
feel. In addition to the four complimentary main arches the frame also features
some very intricate joinery and finely crafted details, such as the teardrops at
the base of the kingposts and the arched and embellished ceiling joists in the dining
room.
This frame was crafted from kiln dried Southern Yellow Pine harvested in East Texas.
The finish is a white wash that mutes the woods natural golden brown color, while
allowing the grain to show.
