Mortise and Tenon Construction

 Here at Red Brush though trusty, we don't rely on the "nail", rather Mortise and Tenon joinery. Using wood to wood joinery is far superior in strength and beauty to most "post and frame" and "stick built" structures. These frames give a feeling of warmth and unmoving, while showing signs of the craftsman throughout. Most of the framework is made up of large timbers around 8" square but can get much larger. With these members able to span longer distances, is gives way for a very expansive space. We offer many options that make building with us, a very custom and rewarding experience. 

If you request, we can meet you on the site you wish to build. Learning what you're after, we can sketch up some visuals and fine tune alongside you till we reach final drawings. The design of the frame is very customizable to showcase the intricate woodwork. Each wood species has its uses and aesthetics, which you will have the choice of. Though these timbers will last hundreds of years, applying whatever your choice of oil, stain or paint, these structures can last thousands of years. The roughness of these timbers can be planed, sanded or left rough sawn depending on your preference. After the design has been established, we get to cuttin. Timber Frame Construction is not a "production" way to build but a “forever” way. The frame that is raised in a day or two's time, will be marveled at by all for as long as it stands.

We wish to build with honor and workmanship
