My brother happens to be a producer of western juniper lumber in Oregon. Generally western juniper is a fast tapering, very knotty tree so I think the issues you would have are getting long timbers and dealing with the knots. He does not recommend using juniper for timber framing. http://www.junipersawmill.com/
