The Owner Built Timber Frame


Have tent will travel seems to be my motto this year. This past spring I taught an organic farmer how to build a timber frame fruit stand for his farm.

This fall I taught a father and son how to build a timber frame home.


Many people want to build their own home and some of these people are drawn to the art of timber framing. What I have found so rewarding about this approach to timber framing is witnessing the process of learning, and the sense of accomplishment in building ones own home...

There seems to be a right of passage I see in the faces of everyone the first time they join two pieces of wood together with a wooden peg...

Getting ready for the roof! Job well done by all!
