2020 Timber Framing Workshops at Fox Maple

Introductory Timber Framing, June 1-6
Advanced Timber Framing, June 8-13
Combined Intro & Advanced, June 1-13

The 2020 Introductory and Advanced Timber Framing workshop series taking place at Fox Maple in Brownfield, Maine, has now been posted and available for registration.

The Costa Rica workshop last November was a smashing success. Here are a couple of pics of the completed 12-sided Reciprical Roof Structure. We will post more pics and videos once we have a chance to go through the tousands of photos taken during the workshop. The frame was executed impecably by the students and instructors and stands as a testament to what is possible to an eager and enthustiac group of people armed only with a few sharp chisels and a tremendous amount of will. Thanks to everyone who took part. A special thanks goes to Kohei Yamamoto, who inspired everyone with his generosity and depth of knowledge and talent. We hope to schedule another future workshop with Yamamoto, so keep posted.

Fox Maple Press
Joiners' Quarterly began publishing technical information about Timber Framing and Traditional Building in 1983.

Traditional timber framing and joinery techniques are at the core of the editorial content, but Natural Building is an important aspect because traditional building, by virtue of its pure and simple approach, is natural building. Timber, Straw, Wood & Clay; these were the traditional materials of the past, but today we think of them as Alternative Building. JQ offers insightful, technical articles about how to make traditional timber framing, combined with natural building systems, appropriate once again to build houses that will last for many generations. Craftsmanship is a key essential to any building endeavor. Articles in JQ and editorial content take this as the first essential, and present it as such. JQ Back issues offer a unique glimpse into the revival of timber framing through insightful articles.
