We built this 26x28 canted queen post frame out of Eastern White Pine in Chelsea, VT. The clients wanted the frame to look old and traditional to match their mid 1800’s farm house, so we used a classic American frame design, the canted queen post, and we hewed the timbers to final dimension with broad axes. We had a lot of fun with this frame, especially with the hewing! Three weeks of axe work was a very welcome change of pace during the cold December that we cut this frame.
