Daniel
Reagan started timber framing in 1978. His love
of wood led to an honours degree in construction
technology.
Kimberley Reagan learned woodworking at a young
age from her grandfather, which sparked her life-long
interest in wood craft.
Together they spent a year in Nagano, Japan, where
Daniel apprenticed, studied timber framing, and wrote
his thesis comparing Japanese and American styles of
timber framing.

This
experience, and years of hands-on timber framing and traditional
joinery, ensure quality workmanship and a dedication to
the historical craft of timber framing.
Dan
is a collector of 'special' pieces of wood that are often
incorporated into our clients' timber frame projects at their
request. These pieces include carvings, arches, and even ship's
knees. Over the years we have developed a unique relationship
with loggers who will locate additional special pieces.
We
have built our company on six principles:
- Honesty
- Quality:
offering our clients the finest in design,
craftsmanship
and personalized attention
- Client
service and satisfaction
- Support
of our employees' enjoyment of life and work
- Respect
of the time honored timber frame craft and
balancing it
with modern construction technology
- Harmony - building in harmony with our global environment
We
constantly strive to offer our clients the finest in design,
craftsmanship, and personalized attention.
Concern
for our environment
When we mill our own logs we utilize every part of the
tree. After milling, scraps become firewood and wood shavings
are composted for gardens or provide livestock bedding. New
trees are planted on our own lands to replace the ones that
have been used. These will be planted in your name.
"To
plant trees is to give body and life to one's dream of a
better world."
- Russel Page, British writer
"I
must comment on the commitment and passion shown by Daniel
Reagan . . . It was very apparent throughout our relationship
with Acorn Timber Frames (now Timberhart Woodworks) that
Mr. Reagan has a strong commitment to the art of post
and beam construction, and is extremely knowledgeable
and caring about the product he delivers."
