I do like Steve Chappell's book for a look at the moden way of Timber Framing If I had to pick one book above the rest it would have to be Building The Timber Frame House By Tedd Bensonįor me this book has shown the tricks of the trade were others have failed. I know it will take me longer to build without the formal training, but I can afford the time more than the money. I seriously considered a formal hands-on class/workshop, but I can't justify the cost. I have other books that include some examples of timber framing that have given me ideas for my design. Tedd Benson has a book, Building the Timber Frame House that is also very good.Īnd the third perspective is Steve Chappell and his book, A Timber Framer's Workshop. Sobon has an excellent book, called Build a Classic Timber-Framed House. There is more than one method and more than one opinion of what works, so I would recommend multiple sources. I'm in the process of building a timber frame cabin and I'm doing it with internet info, but more importantly some books on the subject. There should be plenty of workshops listed although the closest to you might be in Colorado. I would start with the Timber Framing Guild.
