East County Oak is a timber framing shop based in Athens, Georgia. We specialize in designing and hand crafting traditional timber frames. We also provide fine carpentry services and custom woodworking and furniture.

This home on Lake Oconee began it’s life as a barn in Indiana. The client had it disassembled and shipped to our shop for repairs and alterations. We moved some of the main timbers to accommodate the necessities of a modern home. One example is the scarf joint we added for a post repair. The mix of hand hewn hardwood timbers gives it a beautiful color and texture. We raised the timber frame on its new foundation and then the client had SIP panels installed.
