Each course is a four-day, hands-on experience, where nine students will have the opportunity to build a complete timber frame and participate in every step of the hands-on process from designing and cutting timbers to raising the finished structure while working with two expert instructors.
Framing with large dimensional timbers is a traditional method of erecting buildings of any size from houses to barns. Adding to the fun we make use of historic mortis and tenon joinery, a method that predates modern fasteners like bolts and nails. These buildings are both rugged and beautiful. Timber frame construction can be a satisfying way to make use of harvested trees from personal woodlots to build your own house, barn, or any outbuilding.
