Book description

Half-timbered houses, cottages and barnes are a familiar feature of the landscape, but only rarely do we have an opportunity to see below the surface and understand how they were planned and constructed.

Why read it?

1 author picked Discovering Timber-Framed Buildings as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is the first book that inspired me whilst learning the art of timber framing.

It was my constant companion in the early days because of the wealth of information within this small but perfectly formed paperback. It provides details on joints, construction techniques, and different styles of building.

The book is filled with many beautifully hand-drawn illustrations that bring it alive. A must have!
