A
little History
While on a recruiting
trip for the family owned children's summer camps,
Camp Arrowhead for Boys, and Camp Glen Arden for
Girls, I saw the great barns built by the Amish in
Lancaster County PA. I was hooked. I was determined
to learn the lore and the skills of timber framing.
At that time, the camps had been in my
family for fifty years. In 1984 I went on to include
a timber framing program into the summer activities
there. Each year we would build small cabins to be
placed in the surrounding forests for overnight
camping trips. The boys who elected to join the
project loved it, and gained much through the
learning process. Later, when building a new campus,
I built a 24 stall timber frame horse barn, a timber
frame blacksmith shop, and a timber frame indoor
climbing wall and pavilion.
Each of our hand
crafted timber frame structures is a work of art,
regardless of size, whether gazebo, pavilion, full
timber frame or hybrid timber frame structure. We
work to bring beauty, elegance, durability, and
energy efficiency to your residential, commercial,
or public space.
I sold the camping
business in 1996, and started Cabin Creek Timber
Frames in response to requests from family and
friends and then from friends of friends.
What
about the name? Cabin Creek Timber Frames derives
its name from a bold mountain stream with waterfalls
and pools coursing through the camp property, where
my brothers and I grew up. Cabin Creek is a
tributary of the Green River in Henderson County,
NC, a nationally known whitewater river.
| Our Mission.
Our staff, all of us, is dedicated to building
the best structures possible. We want to do the
best job we can, not just turn out product. We
take the time and expend the effort necessary to
do the best job possible. We handcraft each
frame. We do not assign a project to a computer
directed machine (CNC or computer numeric
controlled machine) as many of the large
companies do. We derive great personal
satisfaction from the hand cutting process,
produce a better frame, and through the trial
assembly process, we save time at the raising
and get tighter and therefore better joints for
an overall better job. |
