Architectural Timber Accents: Timeless Beauty for Gables, Peaks, and Entryways

At Western Timber Frame™, we specialize in handcrafted timber elements that enhance both the structure and character of a space. From gable-end trusses and vaulted ceilings to timber entries and interior beam systems, our architectural timber accents bring warmth, dimension, and lasting strength to residential and commercial buildings alike.

Whether you’re updating an existing structure or building new, our custom timber features deliver both the beauty of classic craftsmanship and the integrity of true structural support.

More Than Appearance — Engineered to Support

While others may offer lookalike trim or hollow designs, Western Timber Frame™ builds with real timber, using real joinery, built to support weight where needed. Many of our timber elements are fully load-bearing, while others are crafted to mirror that strength in decorative applications — but always from authentic, solid wood.

Our patented Dovetail Difference™ joinery system is a quiet revolution in timber framing. This interlocking design not only simplifies installation — it creates a tighter, longer-lasting fit that makes our structures stronger than traditional methods. It’s how we ensure each piece, visible or hidden, performs beautifully for decades.
