We're gonna take this awesome #reclaimed #douglasfir, ship it to Whistler BC and turn it it to something beautiful. #carpentersofinstagram #timberframing #smith_timber_works #keepcraftalive #photooftheday

Good Monday morning! This fine looking stack of sticks is heading for the finishing bay to get 2 coats of stain before landing at its lakefront destination. #douglasfir #carpentersofinstagram #keepcraftalive #photooftheday #smith_timber_works #timberframe #postandbeam #cottage

Occasionally, we are lucky enough to build structures that will remain open and visible for their lifespan. Here is a sneak peak of a wedding pavilion / outdoor kitchen / party shelter that we have been working on. Douglas fir timber frame with espresso stain .

August is busy at #smith_timber_works , but we took a holiday in spite of it all. I made targets for the shooter and shared some pointers on birdsnests with casting reels. And we found a few fish! Thanks for all who made it happen! #skeena #salmon #photooftheday ... #hooky #iwanttogoback #cariboolife #carpentersofinstagram #familyholiday See more

Been some long, hot days this week, but the beam team has been making great progress in the shop! These 28' King Post Trusses are built from local, dry Douglas fir, and stained with 2 coats of Espresso stain. Some lucky lovebirds will be married under these trusses later this summer on the shore of beautiful Quesnel Lake. #smith_timber_works #timberframe #craftsman #cariboolife #timbertruss #keepcraftalive #wood #douglasfir #sansin #handcrafted #buildersofinsta #photooftheday #carpentry

Sam fait @sam.fait has officially joined the @smith_timber_works beam team as carpentry apprentice after passing his 3 month test drive. We hope to mentor Sam through to his journeyman carpenterty ticket. He is currently working at the 'air barrier station' for our panelized wall components. When he's not at work, you'll find Sam exploring backcounty bc, possibly chasing fish and / or wildlife. #carpentersofinstagram #carpentry #training #photooftheday #supportsmallbusiness #prefab #timberframe #buildersofinsta #keepcraftalive

We love getting progress entries from clients. This one comes from Prince George BC. We worked closely with the clients to have timber framing that matched the design intent of the home. We fabricated and installed a roof system while @primusprojects built the rest of this great project. Looking awesome R&D! #smith_timber_works #photooftheday #tgif ... #carpentersofinstagram #buildersofinsta #keepcraftalive #timberframe #timberdesign #home See more

Nice job by the beam team today! This new roof will add some shade to this established house on those long sunny days in the Cariboo. #smith_timber_works #keepcraftalive #postandbeam #photooftheday #carpentersofinstagram #buildersofinstagram #timberframe #timberframing #mondaymotivation #deck #cariboo

The #smith_timber_works #ateam has been fabricating stair parts in the shop for a few weeks. This residential set landed this week. #douglasfir stringers and #birch treads. #photooftheday #carpentry #veryheavy #customtimberhome #designbuild #stairs

In light of everything, we've been slipping on our social content! The #smith_timber_works family is healthy and well, and working as hard as ever (but now with cleaner hands). We found some great folks with a carport that needed a tune-up. We applied some solutions with steel and wood, and had the gang from Fire Tower Engineered Timber hone the details. Caport is back to plumb, straight and level! #timberframe #carpentry #photooftheday #firetowerengineering #douglasfir #engineering #timbertruss

Since the temperature continues to hover around -35 in the cariboo, I thought i'd look back about 6 months to some warmer days and see what the beam team was up to.... 1) Fun framing with premium Douglas Fir. Valleys meet keyed beams in this teak-stained roof system. 2) Green grass and long days in Likely BC, watching happy trout rise on the Quesnel river 3) More big, dry DF keyed beams ... 4) Sadie the skidsteer and NEMO the forklift reporting for duty 5) BBQ SALMON!! With many thanks to cool client Don't worry y'all. Summer is just around the corner. # smith_timber_works #cariboolife #picoftheday #carpentry #damnitscold #timberframe #customtimberhome #douglasfir #biggreenegg

Totally captured the light on this purple parallel chord truss while on a recent family trip. Stopped in and enjoyed a flaming duff. #thesimpsons #pub #photooftheday #hooky #buildersofinsta #timberframe #smith_timber_works

Goodbye 2019, hello 2020! Here are a few of our faves from last year. Looking forward to 2020 with my awesome staff, subcontractors, and clients, new and old. Onward!! #bestnine #smith_timber_works #photooftheday #cariboo #buildersofinsta #carpentry #designbuild #timberframe

Great spot for a friday afternoon siesta we'd say. #carpentry #cariboo #friday #photooftheday #smith_timber_works #tgif #timberframe #siesta

It's getting cold in the Cariboo!! You mind if we all come over for some cinnamon rolls and eggnog? #greatclients #customtimberhomes #timberframe #hearth #photooftheday #smith_timber_works #humpday

Caught this cool shot on one of our commercial jobs this morning. STW Beam Team executed this uncommon oculus (?) framing with flying colors. Nice job boys!

The kids grow up so fast!! It's been nearly two years since we last had the privilege of working with Lola and the awesome crew from Leon Reid Contracting. Great service interupted only by great fishing stories. #dogsofinstagram #customtimberhome #timberframe #carpentry #cariboolife #tbt #photooftheday #buildersofig

TGIF! The horses are allowed in now. Great job boys! #teamwork #horseplay #tgifridays #timberframerlife #photooftheday #buildersofinsta #barn #carpentry

Looking back on this day in 2018, we raised this beautiful douglas fir frame in perfect weather. Also, i accidentally bought a dozen, dozen donuts for a fund raiser, so our team of 7 had a solid supply of krispy kremes. #cariboolife #krispykreme #customtimberhome #designbuild #carpentry #douglasfir #photooftheday #buildersofig

We are lucky to work with great clients who have visions for rooms like this one. Good spot for a hot toddy on a Saturday? We think so. #customtimberhome #cariboolife #tulikivi #photooftheday #reclaimed #designbuild #design #bespoke #carpentry #douglasfir

Still standing and looking fine! Enjoyed revisiting the pemberton barn today. @robinzirnhelt @maddentimber @timberframersguild #pemberton #timberframe #carpentry #community #douglasfir #photooftheday #patternlanguage #buildersofig

#tbt to this time last year - the STW crew where putting in some long hours on this great home. The timbered living area is a mix of douglas fir, live edge western red cedar, and spruce/pine tongue and groove roof decking. #liveedge #licencedbuilder #buildersofinstagram #smithtimberworks #customtimberhome #timbertruss #carpentry #buildersofinsta #wood #postandbeam #keepcraftalive

Wood is good! Some nice sticks from the pros at #fraserwood_timber. 8"x12"x15' dry and clear, heading for a local commercial renovation. #smithtimberworks #carpentry #picoftheday #timberframe #woodwork #prefab #timberstructure
