Last year we worked on the main lodge for North Star Camp, a youth camp located near Brainerd, MN. Blue Ox Timber Frames did the timber work and Hy-Tec Construction did the finish work. The interior and exterior timbers are Eastern White Pine. The shed roof sections of the entry mirror those of  the main building.

As much as we love working on custom homes (and we do), it is always fun to stretch our creative muscles and do something a bit different. We are very happy with how the North Star Camp lodge turned out, and we hope that it is useful for the camp for many years to come.
