Riverbend Timber Framing

Since 1979, Riverbend Timber Framing has designed and crafted thousands of timber frame structures throughout the United States and beyond, including everything from cozy weekend retreats to grand country manors, churches, stores, clubhouses, hotels and restaurants. Riverbend's designers and craftsmen proudly carry forward a tradition that began thousands of years ago. By combining the proven techniques of the past with creative design and some of the most advanced engineering in the industry, we are continually expanding the range of timber frame styles and functions.

A timber frame is a post and beam structure, defined by a magnificent system of wooden framing members exposed to the interior. The timbers are connected by pegged mortis and tenon joinery, much like that found in fine furniture. On the outside, a timber frame house can be as conventional as its neighbors, but open the door and it immediately becomes apparent that this is no ordinary house. The range of styles, from rustic to traditional to contemporary, is as wide as the imagination. Riverbend uses a variety of wood species, with each timber designed and cut using the latest technology in computer assisted design and production. Complex, large, or artistic timbers are hand crafted by our highly skilled joiners.

As supplier of both the timber frame and structural insulated panel closure system, which has been scientifically tested as a complete structural system, Riverbend is uniquely suited to help you find the ideal balance among the often competing criteria of structure, aesthetics and budget. Riverbend not only designs and engineers the timber-panel system, but also produces, erects, and warrants it.
