Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions Source for Timbers?

Hello All,

It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm looking for a source of Timbers in Minnesota. I had a source from Wisconsin but I am no longer able to get a hold of him. My friend wants to build a timber frame pergola (~12'x12'). I've been doing some smaller projects by using my chainsaw mill, which I've been very pleased with, but would like to order the timbers for this job. Any contact info or sources would be greatly appreciated. I did some searching on the forum, but wasn't able to find anything (I don't think I'm very good at searching).

Thanks for any help you can offer!

PS If you're interested I made a video of the last project I did with a metal working friend to build a sign for a local college. Timber frame sign

Judging by your handle, I'm going to guess you are in Northern Minnesota. You could try Don Willey in Nevis: 218-243-2368.

Thanks Clark, I'm actually in Ham Lake, just outside the Twin Cities. I appreciate the name and information!
