International Plowing Match in
Bruce County."
Scott and Lynne Murray believe
in being part of the community.
The company worked with
Beavercrest Community School in
Markdale to build a gazebo in front
of the school.
"All the classes participated,"
says Murray. "Each child got to cut
at (east a bit of the wood, from the
youngest class on up. The children
also designed the building.
Thistlewood donated timber and
time and worked with other area
businesses on the project."
"The school had a raising and all
the students helped in the
construction and the raising." The
Murrays like the Markdale area for
raising their young family: Claire,
10, Evan, 7, and twins Stuart and
Allison, 4.
"Working with wood is more
than a way of life. It's more than
just a job," states Murray. "We are
reviving a craft that almost died
out. It's a heritage, and we're
proud to be part of a long-standing
tradition."
For Scott and Lynne Murray,
timber framing is an important skill.
"We're building homes that will
last 300 years!"0
Most beams are cut at the plant, then
transported to site.
To those who call us
old-fashioned, dated and
living in the past, two words:
Thank you.
In the 1800s, people built timber frame homes using chisels and mallets. We still do. So
call us old-fashioned. And then call us for a free brochure at (519) 986-3280.
