Description

English Historic Carpentry documents the structure of the world's greatest timber buildings and shows how the framer's craft has evolved over 1,000 years. This comprehensive guide describes and illustrates all classes of structural carpentry known in England, from Royal works to Vernacular buildings. Joinery techniques are illustrated alongside structural devices and timber moldings, providing a detailed understanding of historic building construction. The author's theory on identifying and dating historic buildings from their joinery techniques has been widely accepted and forms the basis of this book. With its extensive illustrations and in-depth discussion of timber framing, English Historic Carpentry is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in this type of construction.
