Precision Timber Joinery
At Timber Ridge Contracting, every project begins with craftsmanship — and the heart of that craftsmanship is expert joinery. Located in Orillia, Ontario, Timber Ridge specializes in traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, the centuries-old woodworking method that gives timber frame homes and log cabins their strength, durability, and timeless beauty.
Each joint we create is carefully measured, cut, and fitted by hand. Our approach ensures that every post, beam, and rafter connects seamlessly — producing a structural frame that is both functional and beautiful. This is not just construction; it’s true woodworking artistry.
What Is Timber Joinery?
Joinery is the craft of connecting pieces of wood together to form a solid structure without relying solely on nails or metal fasteners. At Timber Ridge, we use mortise-and-tenon joinery, a traditional method where a projecting tenon on one timber fits snugly into a corresponding mortise hole in another.
This method provides unmatched strength and longevity, allowing your home or structure to stand strong for generations. Each timber connection is secured with hardwood pegs, giving it both structural integrity and natural beauty that modern framing methods can’t replicate.
Craftsmanship That Defines Every Timber Ridge Home
Every timber frame or log cabin we build showcases our dedication to fine joinery. Our timbers—often 8×10 posts and 8×12 rafters—are carefully milled, shaped, and finished using a blend of traditional hand tools and modern precision equipment.
This combination allows us to maintain the authenticity of handcrafted work while ensuring every joint fits perfectly. You can see the results in our exposed beam interiors, curved braces, and seamless structural connections — all of which reveal the skill and care that define Timber Ridge Contracting.
