Description
Timber framing is a 7,000-year-old craft that has captivated people with its simple elegance and resilience. This book is a celebration of that tradition, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship involved in building homes with timber frames. Internationally renowned timber-frame architect and craftsman Jack A. Sobon shares his expertise on how trees are transformed into the framework for a home, using classic tools to hand hew and shape each timber. The book also explores the engineering of wooden joinery that connects the timbers without the use of nails. Inspiring photos of Sobon's original interior designs, as well as historical examples of long-lived structures in Europe and North America, make this a thoughtful tribute to the lasting value of artisanal craftsmanship.
