General Information About the Art of Timber Framing:
Timber framing is a traditional building practice that creates the skeleton framework of a structure by connecting and fastening the ends of both large and small wooden members with wooden joinery. Joinery consists of carving or fitting two pieces of timber together with the connection being secured and fastened with a wooden pin or peg. A primary method of joinery is mortise-and-tenon, which is the hole or recess cut of one wooden member receiving the corresponding projection of the other wooden member. Other forms of wooden joinery include lap joint dovetail, tying joint, and scarf joint.
Along with joinery, timber framing’s distinctive style often involves using heavy timbers instead of slender, pre-cut, dimensional, and pre-sized lumber that is readily available from lumber yards (e.g., 2x4s or 2x6s). Instead of building with pre-cut dimensional lumber, traditional timber framers often create and work directly with timber harvested from locations having a suitable and sustainable species of trees. These locations may include trees from a builder’s property or trees from a building site. Builders can harvest the trees rough-sawn, hand hewn, or adzed on site or process the trees at a mill as green, air-dried, or kiln-dried timber. Recycled timber and reclaimed wood are also other methods of procurement, but those forms of timber must be suitable for joinery.
Although timber framing has distinctive attributes, the building method does have some intermingling with post and beam construction. Post and beam structures have upright posts supporting horizontal beams and those wooden members may include round logs or squared timbers that are held together by metal hardware that is either hidden or exposed. Although timber framing can be a specialized version of timber post and beam, its connections generally remain distinctive with wood-on-wood joinery, not metal hardware.
