Prior to 1840 all structures on the National Register were timber frame

construction, a process in which ti mbers are cut, joined, braced & fastened with

wooden pegs to form an interlocking of beams. This type of construction was born out

of necessity. Our forefathers utilized the resources available to build a home long

ago, they felled the trees, hewed the timbers & joined them with a mortise & tenon &

trunnels. I t was a perfect union of resources & energy.

Basic joining techniques, such as the mortise & tenon, evolved between 200 & 500

B. C. in Japan & Europe. The process has been refined over the centuries &

adapted to modern l iving. This age old process creates an infrastructure that i s

timeless in design, but may be fashioned to suit contemporary sensibili ties. Timber

framing is quality construction that will maintain its beauty & strength for generations

to come.

Often potential owners begin collecti ng items for use in t heir home even before

construction begins. I recommend that potential home builders, who may have

just the beginni ng of ideas for thei r home, not col lect a hodgepodge of stuf f, but

rather collect hardware, stone, brick, slate, marble for their home these things will

last while they continue to develop ideas & plans for their dream home.

Today, far too many people have lost the capacity to dream. From our perspective,

we must identify the dreamers with the wherewithal to make a plan. While they

may not be ready to break ground today, starting the process takes them a step

closer. We will still be here when theyre ready, whether its five years or ten years

from now.

Timber Frame Traditions

PAYING HOMAGE

When the final peg is driven, tradition requires the frames owners or the framing crew to nail a

pine bough to the ridgepole to pay homage to the trees used to build the frame.

The bough is passed upthrough the frame...

From member to member ... level to level...

To the one designated to attach thebough.

Dreaming Creek MillP OWHATAN , V I R G I N I A

Dreaming Creeks sawmill has the capability to produce timbers 45-feet & longerwith widths up to 36-inches. Todate the longest timber producedat our mill measured 12-inches

by 18-inches by 52-feet.

Before planing, parallel rip saws remove any crowning to produce astraight, uniform cut. Timbers are then shipped to our beamery and

run through a 4-sided planer.

For timbers with widths greater than 36-inches we utilize ourSperber chainsaw mil l. This allows us the capability to

produce timbers with exceptionally large widths. The showhome at Dreaming Creek showcases boards with widths as

great as40-inches.

We sentthem an e-mail and received thefollowing message a couple of dayslater with a description of thedamage they sustained as well asthe photos on these two pages.

[... thanks for t he note, say hello toeveryone involved in my project for

us. Unfortunately, the old housethat we attached the timber frame to

is completely gone to the slab(above). Fortunately the timber

frame is still standing but gutted on

the first floor... The masterbedroom (right) and master bath

came through all right as did the twodecks on the back of the house.]

[We had a 25' storm surgecome through at our locationalong with the 145 mph winds.

Also, the frame outside of themaster bedroom has been opento the weather for a monthnow]

[I am only one of three houses out of50 along the water that has anything

stil l standing and the only one that willbe able to rebuild. All of the houses

on my cul-de-sac are only slabs]Dreaming Creek responded first by

establishing our Chief OperatingOfficer, as the main point of contact

for the client. All requests forassistance are sent to him and heassigns the appropriate Dreaming

Creek team members to respond to therequests.

Word of the needs also went to theDreaming Creeks consulting timberframe engineer who has offered hisassistance in r e-evaluating anyengineering questions that maybecome necessary. Our beamery i sready to fabri cate any timbers thatmay be needed in getting theproject back into shape for thecli ent. Bob Shortri dge, our founderand president, has coordinated withthe owners to visit the building siteto offer hi s assistance in evaluatingthe structure.

We are proud of our company and our

products and know that thi s examplestands as a testimony to the strengthand beauty of timber frame

construction. More importantly, itstands as an example of doing the

right thing in a t ime of crisi s. And forthat we are most proud.

2 . 0 2 T I M B E R F R A M I N G

A. Timber Species: Douglas fir, White Oak, or Southern Yel low Pine at Fabricator'soption.

NOTE: Or use a specific species or a blend of woods. We also have available most woodspecies that are conducive to timber framework. Black Walnut, Cherry, Cypress, Cedar, andHickory are among the most popular. Talk with Dreaming Creek about other timber speciesoptions that are suitable with timber framing.)

B. Timber Grade: For the species used, comply with following grade (or grades if morethan one specified at Fabricator's option), for beams, stringers, posts and othermembers as shown:

WWPA Grade: No. 2 V (stress rated or betterminimum)SPIB Grade: No. 2 SR (stress rated or better - minimum)

C. Moisture Content: No minimum moisture content applies(NOTE: Very often, the timber moisture content should not be an issue, as traditional timberframing allows green timbers. If you use either Douglas fir or SYP for the project, limitingmoisture to 19% is often acceptable. For other wood species, higher moisture content areacceptable as most other timber species cannot be kiln dried. If the project is for dry, aridclimates, or timber to glass connections are required, lower moisture content timbers may beneeded. Contact Dreaming Creek for Details.)

D. Dressing: Provide timber, which has been dressed on 4 sides at mill, prior tograding. Comply with grade sizes.

(NOTE: Generally the S4S nominal timber size is " undersized from the full dimension, anddoes not sync to Kiln Dried lumber dimensions, I.E: A S4S 14" timber would be 13-.)

E. End Seal: Manufacturer's standard transparent colorless wood sealer, which i seffective in retarding the transmission of moisture at cross-grain cuts.

F. Penetrat ing Sealer: Manufacturer's standard translucent penetrating wood sealer,which will not interfere with application of wood stain, transparent finish or paintfinish as indicated for the work.

(NOTE: The usual surface finish for interior work is tung oil. However, this oil should NOT beused for exterior applications as it can feed mold growth. Exterior Timbers are better left

unfinished until the final site finish is applied.)G. Connectors, Anchors, and Accessories: Fabricate from structural-steel shapes,plates, and bars complying with ASTM A 36, steel bars complying with ASTM A 575,and hot-roll ed steel sheet complying with ASTM A 570. Hot-dip galvanize eachassembly and fastener after fabrication to comply with ASTM A 123 or ASTM A 153.

2.03 SOLID WOOD DECKING

A. Grade for Solid Wood Roof Decking: Where standard tongued-and-grooved or doubletongued-and-grooved roof decking of solid wood (not laminated) is indicated, provide thefollowing grade of units, of the pattern indicated, in required species:

B. Pattern and Dressing, Solid Matched Decking: Standard pattern of the type indicated,surfaced on top and bottom.

C. Fasteners: Provide nail size, type, and at locations recommended by AITC for thethickness and type deck used.

2.04 FABRICATION, TIMBER FRAMING

A. Design of Members: Member sizes and shapes as shown shall be based on specifiedallowable stresses, and loadings required under the your local Building Code. Architectwill be sole judge of whether requested modifications result in equivalent strengths.

B. Camber: Fabricate horizontal and inclined members (units of less than 12/12 slope) withnatural convex bow (crown) up, so as to provide camber in the work.

C. Fabricate members by cutting and restoring exposed surfaces to match specif ied surfacing.Predrilled for fasteners and assembly of units wherever feasible.

D. Machine finish exposed surfaces to remove planing chatter or surfacing marks.

E. Shop Fabrication: Where treatment of timberwork is indicated, fabricate members (cutting,drilling, surfacing and sanding) prior to treatment, to the greatest extent possible.

F. End-Cut Sealing: Immediately after end-cutting each member to final length, and after woodtreatment (if any), apply a saturation coat of end sealer to ends and other cross-cut surfaces,keeping surfaces 'flood-coated' for not less than 10 minutes.

G. Seal Coat: After complete fabrication and surfacing of each unit and end-cut sealing, applysaturation coat of penetrating sealer on surfaces of each unit, except for treated wood wherethe treatment has included a water repellent.

2.05 FABRICATION, WOOD DECKING

A. Shop Fabrication: Where pressure treatment of decking is indicated completecutting,trimming, surfacing, and sanding prior to treatment.

B. Except as otherwise indicated, fabricate decking units in random lengths complyingwith installation requirements.

Heavy Timber Truss DesignsF O R U S E W I T H C O N V E N T I O N A L B U I L D I N G S Y S T E M S

Timber Frame residential and commercial projects have typically focused on an all-or-nothing approach. Dreaming Creek provides heavy timber trusses specificallydesigned to be used in conjunction with conventional building materials. This hybrid

approach opens up a world of possibilities for both new construction and additionprojects. Beauti ful exposed timbers and soaring spaces can now create uniquefeatures that wil l add distinction to any building project.Even our simple truss design can add a grand touch to any home or addition project.Consider the visual impact of exposed timbers in sizes ranging from 6 by 10 inch to10 by 16 inch and larger. Refer to the photographs on our web site for a visualrepresentation.Dreaming Creek uses traditional timber frame joinery techniques. This centuries oldconstruction practice uses wooden pegs to secure the timber joints. If, by design,steel fasteners are required, they are generally concealed within the timbers leavingno exposed metal to detract from the woods natural beauty. The only standard

exception to hidden steel is when we need to use a steel tension rod to offsethorizontal thrust. Even then, the steel can be an attractive feature.

All wood members are always pre-fitted at our beamery to insure joinery accuracy.When overall size allows, the trusses are shipped pre-assembled, for quick on-siteerection. If a truss must be shipped disassembled, we provide predrilled holes fortrunnel installation. Trunnels are oak pegs or tree nails. A finish of tung oil isnormally applied as the final step before shipment.These timber frame products can be used for both interior and exterior enhancementsto any structure. When using timber for exterior usage, a wood suitable for weatherex
