Baltic Woodworking

Timber Framer, General Contractor
Jeddore, Nova Scotia

Originally a boat builder, Kim Aaboe, owner of Baltic Woodworking, combines traditional woodworking skills with modern methods and an appreciation for preserving older buildings.

In 1995, he was contracted to deconstruct an 1834 building known as Turner’s Barn and rebuild it further along the Eastern Shore as a private home. The client was enthusiastic about saving an existing structure in her community rather than building new. In the end the building was a combination of conventional stick, and timber frame construction – combining the two systems added unique structural components to the project.

Originally designed as a single residence it has since been transformed into two apartments. The future is bright for a building first constructed in 1834!
