Timber framing is an ancient building technique that all but disappeared at the end of the 19th century, but made a revival in the 70’s when modern design and materials made it once again a popular way to build. Posts and beams are held together with mortise and tenon joinery secured with hand made wooden pegs. For centuries throughout Europe, Engineers relied on timber frames for homes, churches, bridges, and industrial buildings. Many are still standing today, in England dating as far back as the 12th century. This is a testament to the beauty, strength and longevity of this historical building technique.
