   Barns are the lifeline of Northern California and Western Nevada's architectural history. Sherwood Forest Timber Frames is focused on saving and restoring these American icons. In cases of financial stress we can stabilize the framed structures so they will last until better times come around. Not only can we rebuild, remodel, stabilze, or re-construct these buildings we also offer full documentation services including write-ups, and photographing them. We also can de-construct old barns so their timbers can be used in new structures.
   Sherwood Forest Timber Frames offers onsite milling of trees for those with woodlots or saw milled timbers, green, and 15% at the shell or radio frequency dried. We work with owner-builders and offer complete plans and engineering of frames for those that want a complete package, permits to turn key. All our frames are draw-bored ( see historical research essay, "A Boring Essay," ) and crafted to the highest standards.
