Hand Hewn Timbers and Tree Posts

Fitzgerald's Heavy Timber Construction, Inc. is proud to have on its staff some of the most skilled artisans producing traditional hand hewn timbers and hand finished, logs, posts and beams in the country today. These distinctive period architectural elements add credibility and beauty to any structure. Working within a long established tradition, our craftsmen are artists with an axe, an adze or a knife, the same tools used by the original builders to create the historic buildings that are their legacy. Hand finishes play a major role in creating the unmistakeable look and "feel" of traditional work in period styles. Creative and innovative designers have found that hand made architectural elements add vitality to any structure, period or modern. We create new work with the conviction and organic presence of authentic historic work.
