Brian Snedeker 

Originally from New Hampshire, Brian began Timber framing in his early 20’s. His introduction to the craft was restoring historic barns and buildings in rural Vermont. This sensitive procedure, full of tradition and heritage, sparked Brian’s passion for timber framing. He continues to incorporate historic joinery and practices into his current work with his business Ivy Creek Timber Frames.

Brian’s background also includes experiences in the southwest where he was exposed to rammed earth, adobe, and cob. He also spent 4 years working for a notable building company in Asheville, North Carolina where he learned conventional framing and enclosure systems building net zero houses. After that, he enjoyed working as a subcontractor in a timber frame shop outside of Asheville while he built his home-workshop. Naturally gravitating towards a rural life with close community, he loves being immersed in family, farming and traditional craft. He resides in Barnardsville, North Carolina where he founded Ivy Creek Timber Frames and lives with his family.
