This was the second frame built by our company founder Andrew Holloway nearly 30 years ago and which may well be the first properly scribed frame employing rediscovered techniques commonly used in previous centuries. The frame was assembled manually with sheer-legs and block and tackle. During the assembly the client played Verdi's 'Requiem Mass' on large outdoor speakers and popped Champagne corks - such was the excitement at seeing the frame raising!
We employed a mediaeval crown post roof, a particularly beautiful style of truss. We also copied the form of early timber mullioned windows which pre-date the introduction of glass, but as you might expect inserted joinery behind. The barn serves as a library for the client’s book collection.
“"Just to say that it looks fabulous, and all who survey it are wonder-struck. Best wishes and many thanks to you all."
Simon, National Trust
“"We have constructed several buildings using Oak frames designed, manufactured and erected by the Green Oak Carpentry Company. We are pleased to confirm that their work is accurate, well detailed and delivered on time. They are knowledgeable and we find working with them easy and straight forward. We therefore have no hesitation in recommending them."
Robert, Trembath Associates
“"Everyone is very impressed with the finished result and I thought I would just take the opportunity of belatedly giving my thanks to you and your team for a job very well done. I have submitted the bridge for a Civic Society award for next year and have every expectation of its success."
P White, Northholt & Greenford Countryside Park Manager
“"Thanks for the excellent job which has just been completed on the Oak Frame extension to the above property. Not only is the quality of the work faultless, it is a true work of art, which will bring endless enjoyment to me and my wife. The end result has surpassed our wildest expectations."
Ray Nicolaides
“"Thank you for the frame that you have just finished at Rogate. It was a miserable wet day, yesterday and John and team carried on regardless. We are delighted with the overall look and also the mouldings to the members. As usual, the frame was millimetre accurate and will be easy to take forward to complete the building."
