Joinery

In this section we feature different kinds of joints that we use in our timberframing, how they are cut, and how they work when they are incorporated into the frame. We enjoy working out these old-time methods of connecting timbers, and find that many of our clients are intrigued by them too. This section will grow, so do check back again.
