Timber framing is a centuries old tradition of creating shelter with an intricately connected framework of large and small timber.
Using mortise and tenon joinery and held together with select hardwood pegs , they are incredibly robust and graceful.
There are different examples of this building practice from all over the world. Each one uniquely developed by their culture, religion ,necessity and local resources. Though different in many ways, they are interconnected by the dedicated craftspeople driven to create both the essential and the magnificent.
