We visited one of our ongoing projects last week and wanted to share some progress images of this impressive residence. Location is in Grayson County, Texas an hour North of Dallas. Scope of work required hundreds of Antique Hand Hewn Mixed Hardwood Timbers.
The majority of timbers were re-sawn at mill on one face to insure a uniform fit against ceilings. Timbers were cleaned to the original patina and fumigated prior to shipping to eliminate any insects, larvae or eggs.
The project also required thousands of square feet of 1″ nominal reclaimed “Brown Board” for use as ceiling paneling. Panel was produced in 5″/7″/9″ widths. Boards were back planed to insure a uniform thickness and square edged to allow for tight joints. This material was also fumigated.
This wonderful home was designed by John Lively & Associates of Plano, Texas. It has been our pleasure to work with the General Contractor: Tim Jackson Custom Homes located in Allen, Texas.
Please call/email Chuck or Daniel with any questions about this project or these materials (or any assistance with your Architectural Wood needs).
Texas Architectural Timbers supplied Perma-chink siding for an 1850s-era pioneer-style getaway cabin in the Texas hill country. The home was featured in the October 2009 issue of Residential Design & Build magazine.
