Timber Frame Kits & Packages

..dedicated to the highest level of craft

Timber Framing

Timber framing is a traditional construction method where large wooden beams and posts, or timbers, form the primary structural framework of a building. This technique, dating back centuries, involves using intricate joinery like mortise & tenon, dovetails, and scarfs to name a few. Timber framing provides a rustic aesthetic, energy efficiency due to the natural insulation properties of wood, and allows for flexible design. Skilled craftsmanship is integral, creating durable and visually appealing structures, often seen in homes, barns, and other architectural works.
