Company Information
Few endeavors in life will require the time, thought and trust of building your dream home. From the initial concept to the finished product our team at Blue Ox Timber Frames believes that building a home is more than the acts of crafting joints and driving pegs. Equally important are the exercises of fostering creative ideas, listening, and cultivating long-term relationships.
Blue Ox Timber Frames is a small, privately owned company located in the Lakes Country of central Minnesota. We are a team comprised of creative designers, skilled craftsmen, and a patient staff that is committed to the tradition of our craft, the endless pursuit of possibilities, and the satisfaction of our customers and colleagues. Blue Ox Timber Frames takes great pride in the precise workmanship of each custom timber frame that we craft. We employ the traditional methods of mortise-and-tenon joinery while embracing the forward thinking of modern timber framing.
Blue Ox Timber Frames is one of the only timber frame companies in the Midwest with its own in-house architectural design and engineering team. By providing both design and engineering services we aim to make the planning and design process as fluid as possible should you choose to work exclusively with our designers or in conjunction with the architect of your choice.
We at Blue Ox Timber Frames look forward to the opportunity to work with you and invite you to contact us for a personal consultation.

Since 1983 we’ve built hundreds of complete homes, individual rooms and innovative additions in the U.S. and abroad. Each project reflects the beauty and utility of timber framing with the unique needs of its owner.
Blue Ridge Timberwrights understands that each structure starts with not just a plan but also a dream. Blue Ridge leads clients through each stage of the project while providing ample opportunity for personal expression and involvement.
Our custom approach to business recognizes the differing needs of clients. You may work with an architect to design your home or work with our in-house design department to modify an existing plan or create a completely new structure. We can custom design an entire residence to meet your needs whether it’s a 5,000-square-foot family getaway or a compact home to compliment your sustainable lifestyle. Our timber frame great rooms are beautiful additions to traditional stick-built homes during initial construction or later renovations.
We construct your frame with the finest of materials, such as Douglas fir, southern yellow pine, white pine, red oak, white oak, western red cedar, cypress and a number of reclaimed species.
