Timber Meisters began as the dream of brothers Barry and Bryce Rinkhoff. Their love and appreciation of traditional architecture and building techniques was derived from watching The Woodwright's Shop with Roy Underhill as boys.

Beginning in 1998 they sought out antique barns and log cabins to dismantle, restore, and rebuild for clients. Some were restored in place while others were moved far away to be given new life as homes or businesses in other states.

In 2008 Bryce left the company to pursue another lifelong dream - the manufacture and display of custom fireworks. At this time also Barry began to focus more on new structures using traditional patterns and methods. This made it possible for him to be near his growing family as 90% of his labor was in the timber yard at home, going away only to erect the finished structure at its new location.

Since then Barry has done a variety of log and timber frame projects. The quality so often appreciated in the sturdy buildings of old lives on in his work. While modern tools have found a place it's the hand tools of old that have a special place in the crafting of each Timber Meisters building.

What We Do

While an early focus of the business was on restoration of antique timber frame and log structures, these days we are exclusively creating new structures in the traditional styles.

We build timber frame and Appalachian style log homes and outbuildings for our clients and their posterity to enjoy for years to come.
