Costa Rica 2019 Reciprocal Pavilion Workshop
Scribing Session, November 5-9, 2019
Reciprocal Roof Session, November 11-22, 2019

The ucoming Reciprocal Pavilion Timber Framing Workshop in Nosara, Costa Rica, just may be the most exuberhant timber frame ever constructed in a Fox Maple workshop. To be sure, there have been several that have reached a similar level, such as the cruck workshop in Brittany, France, in 2013. Certainly, all the workshops in Kuai, Hawaii back in the early 2000's, and the workshop in Australia last year came close, as we had to source local, live-edged material, crooks and wanky timbers on site as part of these workshop process. We then actually had to construct the frame project as a learning experience, all in the alloted time of the workshop. These were indeed exuberant workshops.

The addition of masterJapanese temple builder, Kohei Yamamoto, as a guest intstructor, in this upcoming workshop will make this a truly special learning experience for all involved. If you want to stretch your timber framing talents to the max, then you do not want to miss this workshop.

A few spots are still open for this workshop, and with the revised dates, a little extra time to fit it into your schedule. To register or for more info, click the update link below.

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.
