Traditional Joinery Vs. Steel Joinery

Custom plates for a pool house
We get asked a lot about steel joinery versus traditional joinery.  To be sure, the beauty of the joinery is in the eye of the beholder.  Some people prefer steel joinery because of the industrial look, and some prefer a more traditional mortise and tenon type of joinery.  Here at Vermont Timber Works we are comfortable with either kind of joinery.

Because we are a timber frame shop we can fabricate the timbers either for steel or for mortise and tenon.
