Kodiak Frame
These pictures are a portion of my Timber frame history, projects we've completed, and adventures we've had. Working big timber on the ground, then seeing the architecture fully assembled on site as a load-bearing structure has always been close to my heart. I hope you enjoy the pictures we've put together. It's just another example of the direction a man can take when he has a sawmill in his hand.
