OTTAWA VALLEY TIMBER WORKS

Ottawa Valley Timber Works for sheds, gazebos, porches and more

10x12 Shed with loft This is a small structure I built for a client who wanted a shed with a loft. To also serve as a play room for his young children.	10x12 Shed Closed in Here's the shed with Pine Board and Batten Siding, with window and door trim.	10x12 Shed Loft Fun loft for kiddies.
Hand Made Ladder to Loft This is a ladder that I made on site to access the loft.	10X12 Shed Here's a nice photo of a brace.	8X16 Gazebo This is a Gazebo Built for Scoops Ice Cream in Pakenham ON. Here I replaced an existing structure. This provides people with a comfortable place to enjoy a ice cream on a summers day. Stop by and enjoy an ice cream in the Gazebo.
Scoops Gazebo Not only did I do the Timber Framing, but also the design and construction of the benches, and the steel roof installation.	Live Edge Beam This is an example of how with my sawmill, we can custom cut timbers to give that wow effect.	Log House Dove Tail Repair Here I repaired a rotten corner of a log house. The house was finished with drywall on the inside, and the client wanted a repair that didn't involve the complete removal of the interior.
Log House Repair The repair was done using Cedar Logs from a Barn I dismantled. Thus matching the existing logs.	Log House Repair Here we are with chinking in place. After a summer, the repair will match the existing logs.	Carnivic This whole frame was of my own design. Incorporating it into the existing structure had it's challenges. The biggest concern, was getting it to all fit in below the protruding King Post Truss that was in the large 4' overhang of the roof. To do this I used two different slopes on the roof of the veranda.
Carnivic By using a stub tenon on the bottom of a post, it will never move out of place.	Carnivic Here's the main entrance framing raised in place.	Carnivic Intersecting Ridges above main entranceway.
Carnivic Intersecting ridges with rafters in place.	Carnivic Here is that ridge intersection from above, the middle ridge beam gives support to the two adjacent ridge beams. They are held in place with a hard wood spline and pegged in place.	Carnivic Here is where we will be having a half lap joint of two plates.
Carnivic Both plates in place, nice and tight joinery.	Carnivic Main Entrance Bent going up.	Carnivic Tying it all in.
Carnivic Here is a fine example of how we incorporated the new frame into the existing framework.	Carnivic The client wanted to add some lights to the veranda, we hid the wires. Don't want to see any wires.	Carnivic Frame is up!
Carnivic Veranda Here's me posing for a pic on the frame. This shows the design challenges we faced in getting it under the existing overhang. And also keeping the roof line of the veranda below the windows on the 2nd floor. Note, I've thrown out those jeans!	Carnivic Interior all completed, we constructed everything on this project from the framing of the floor, the red pine flooring, the screen panels, white pine t&g ceiling, and the steel roofing. Only the screen doors were store bought.	Carnivic Another shot of the finished interior
Carnivic Exterior all finished and stained.	Carnivic We wanted to give the side entrance of the Veranda a sense of importance, for this would be the primary entrance that guests would use entering the hall.	Mirror Frame This is a Mirror I build for a friend who's bathroom I renovated for him. It's built out of barn board and has a linseed oil finish.
Greek Enspired Entabulature This is my final project from College. Students were to find a architectural detail, and reproduce it in the shop. One of the key elements to make this look right, is to have the outside dentals appear to be "floating".	Greek Entabulature Here it is in place around a doorway in the woodworking shop at Algonquin College In Perth.
