Our Story
Blue Ox Timber Frames was established by Ben Miller in 2004. Originally, a one man operation, the goals were relatively simple: follow a passion, serve others, and create high quality timeless timber frame structures. The traditional mortise and tenon joinery was cut using only a saw, mortiser, and chisel in a borrowed uninsulated shop.
Over the years, Blue Ox has evolved to become a leader in our industry. While increasing our demands for the quality and performance or our structures we have been relentless in refining our processes and improving our clients’ planning and building experience. While the founding goals remain, our pursuit for constant improvement in all that we do still drives us.
Blue Ox is committed to changing the way America builds. Our team of designers, craftsmen, and staff are dedicated to the traditions of our craft with the purpose of building structures that serve both people and the planet well.
