The Timber-Frame Shop

A small wood-working shop specializing in small, timber-framed buildings in the Arts-and-Crafts and Gothic Revival Styles.

About The Shop:

We have moved from our old location at #76 Cotton Mill Hill, to the Book Press, on Browne Court, just off Putney Road, (after the rotary, and just beyond Agway). We were sorry to leave our old shop, but we are thrilled with our new space, which is much larger, warmer and more convenient for the production of our new product line of Arts-and-Crafts Inspired garden structures!

We will be posting photographs of our new shop soon. In the meanwhile, please enjoy this photo journal of our old shop, at the Cotton Mill, where we first started out just a little more than two years ago.

This Arbor is an example of our Gothic garden structure design. It measures 3' by 6' and stands a little over 9' tall.
