Building a Better Footprint

You’ve found the Timber Wall, where Traditional Timber Works posts everything that is upcoming, current and historical, but none-the-less, relevant.

Inside the Timber Wall you can find information on our pricing, package Timber Frames, models of frames that are fully designed and can be cut and shipped on short notice, information on building in the various traditional disciplines of field stone masonry, log and timber construction. You can also look into such elements as roofing and blacksmithing.

In our Timber Framing section you can read current and past articles on the art of timber framing; as well as track our current frame projects.

Workshops:

Our 2009 summer and fall building commitments are not going to allow us to begin workshops until Spring, 2010. At the moment we are planning on hosting stone and hewn (or square) log classes beginning in 2010. If you have any special interests or if you want to consider hosting a class at your building site please contact us to discuss your ideas. And check back often for our 2010 schedule which will be out this October. If you want to be notified of workshop schedules via email drop us a line through the contact link or through: info@traditionaltimberworks.com

Coming soon:

The Homestead We’ll be posting frequent updates on our progress towards our efforts to homestead our lot of land in Hastings County, central Ontario. By following our efforts to build a sustainable, natural and healthy home for our family you may find the inspiration and gleam of know how that will tip you towards taking the plunge. You’ll be able to find models detailing our planning, links to the sources of information, that even as knowledgeable builders, we are required to seek out in our pursuit of an informed neutral lifestyle.
