Earth-Bound Building will host a week long intro to timber framing! Workshop participants will cut a 22'x22' car port with traditional joinery. Participants will learn both traditional and production (power tool) timber framing techniques, methods and tooling. The frame will be cut out of white oak using square rule methods. Upon registration and down payment, you will receive a welcome packing listing all relevant information and materials needed for the workshop.
