Island Timberframe uses a wide variety of different wood species and wood grades. The picture shows large Douglas Fir from our backyard here on Vancouver Island.

We have excellent sources of Douglas Fir, Red and Yellow Cedar, Hemlock, Spruce, Maple and other species to use in our timberframe work.

Recycled timbers are available at times from decommissioned logging bridges and old barns.

Second growth timbers are very plentiful and make excellent building material as well.

Green or kiln-dried timbers are used in all kinds of applications.
