The art of hand hewing dates back hundreds of years. Using a series of hand tools, one can convert a tree into a useable timber of any custom shape. Most sawmills are limited to 20-30ft lengths while the only limitation when hewing is the length of the tree itself. Custom shapes can be hewn such as a five sided ridge beam, or a jowled or gun stock post. This technique is environmentally friendly and has character that cannot be reproduced by a machine.
“Thank you so much for your hard work and attention to detail in restoring our barn. When other contractors told us it could not be salvaged we were worried that we had lost part of our family history. After it's restoration I am confident that my grandchildren will be able to enjoy it as well.”

“After contacting Jesse about my interest in a timber frame he worked with me on my design and design changes. I appreciated his prompt response on these matters and his straight forward attitude to our needs. The project was planned to be ready for the frame in early September and that date was met on White Oak Timber Frame’s end.”
