Average Customer Ratings:
Timber Framing has been a part of our building culture and an inspiration to mankind since the Middle Ages. As we enter a new millenium, it is designed to remain as one of building's most enduring forms, not only because of its intrinsic beauty, but because it is a pure and complete structural system.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
The best yet. -
I own several books on this subject and have borrowed more from friends and libraries. This is the best book I have come across, it covers the widest range of matters and communicates the information most effectively.
Patio-bali Wickers Indonesia is among the few best Indonesian manufacturers of high-end synthetic rattan furnitures. For years Patio-bali Wickers has been specializing in furnitures contract furnishing, by producing and exporting the highest quality fine wicker furnitures for overseas hotels, resorts, and fine restaurants.
Pottery-bali Indonesia exports decorative terra cotta pottery, handmade clay flower pots, large decorative vases, fine terrazzo pots, and cast stone planters. These home and garden potteries are available in traditional and contemporary design. All these home decor accents and garden crafts items are for wholesale only, at container size.
A good engineering and classic timber framing book -
Very good book with philosophy of the design, with good engineering information. I found good details on joinery, how to equip yourself for timber framing. I was mostly interested in engineering and found a lot of information, including example on how to verify if joints are correct. It covers only classic timber framing, which means metal (nail, bolt, connectors)
Great Book! -
Excellent book, very thorough. Lots of good info on engineering, stresses and design of joints. Also good info on timbers, where they are cut in the log, shrinkage, and more. Would not ignore any of his advice if you would like your frame to be safe and last for generations.
Neophyte realities - 
This particular book is an overview. Nothing wrong with that, it's merely that I do not even approach the level the overview allows. Again, a fine book for an intermediate but not for My particular position in the process of learning timber framing. A book that is far more to My liking is called "The craft of modular post and beam." Written by James Mitchell. Way better for a beginner and a lot more incisive all the way across the learning horizon. Listening to Paul Butterfield's "East west" and am being pulled away from the typewriter! That is all!

Must have book for the beginning and advanced -
The book is well written and very easy to follow. Steve walks through the history, design considerations, math, and knowledge needed to get started. I've read lots of Timber framing books and this is the first book I grab for reference. If you are trying to decide which book to buy...Look at "A Timber Framer's Workshop" FIRST!
