Rolland:

Michael Moore (a timber framer from Denville, NJ) came up to my place in Sussex County New Jersey and had a good look at the barn I have. As he explained to me, the barn was built in the late 1700's (1770 or so). He said the style was "Dutch, not Penna Dutch" and that it was comprised of Black Walnut and White Oak.

If you would like to see it, I will be taking some pictures of it soon, or you can e-mail me and possibly swing on by and have a look for yourself!

Mike

Oh, By the way....the house I live in on that same property is framed the same way and of the same type timbers!
