Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Two decades ago, Tedd Benson helped kindle the dramatic rebirth of timer framing in this country. Today Benson and others are combining centuries-old timber-framing techniques with modern building materials to create houses that are as beautiful as they are durable and comfortable. In this book, Benson traces the history of the timber frame and tells how to create a new house in the tradition of old-world craftsmen. This new edtiion brings the latest advances in timber framing to life with hundreds of full-color photos and rendered drawings - all the information you need to join the timber-frame revival.

Book News Annotation:

Shows how to adapt timber frame construction to the needs of modern life, and includes recent developments in timber frame homebuilding from the last ten years. Discusses new joints which make frames stronger, better foundation and deck framing, and energy efficient foam core panels that insulate the homes. Also explores the structural and stylistic evolution of timber frame homes, and guides the reader through the various stages of building the home, from planning the spaces to running the wiring and plumbing.
