Timber Frame Supplies
Start with the Right Supplies
A timber frame shapes and supports-but it also endures, amazes, and inspires. You've committed to the craft of timber framing because you want to create joy and delight for those who use the sturdy structures you build, your artistry visible in every exposed beam, precise joint, and invisible seam.
What you don't want are the headaches:
- Coordinating multiple suppliers for a single job
- Sorting ungraded lumber on-site
- Waiting on replacements when suppliers ship the wrong species or dimensions

Meeting the Unique Challenges of Timber Frame Restoration
Timber frames have supported homes, barns, and bridges for centuries. Due to their durability, craftsmanship, and classic look, homeowners today frequently choose timber frames for custom homes, home additions, patio structures, and other outbuildings.
Yoder Lumber not only connects you to a vast network of suppliers and mills. When your reputation rests on your ability to match the kind and quality of work on display in the original structure, our timber inspections ensure you'll have the right strength, species, and dimensions for a seamless restoration.

NELMA/NHLA Inspections
You want to build with quality materials, but it can be a real hassle to have to order from three or more suppliers with different quality-assurance plans. When you have to sight timber for crown, press knots for weakness, and send back pieces with exposed pith or too much wane, you lose time for marking, cutting, joining, and raising.
Our NELMA/NHLA-certified inspectors grade a variety of hardwood and northeastern softwood species to ensure you get top-quality timbers that meet your specs and are ready to build.
- We ensure posts and beams are graded for structural suitability.
- We leverage our deep sourcing network and on-site kiln operation to ensure each timber meets your moisture content specs, so your joinery work won't shift or twist under load.
Share Your Plans
We serve timber framers in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and northern Kentucky. Sourcing begins when we know the species and dimensions you need for your timber frame-but it doesn't end when we deliver the timbers to your site. We're here for this and every timber frame you need sourced.
