Textbook in PDF format There is something inherently spectacular about the look, feel, and smell of a timber structure. It is almost primal. When we walk into a timber structure, it captures us. We instinctively look up as our eye is drawn to the timbers in a way that steel and concrete structures will never experience. Perhaps it is the warmth of the wood or maybe it just reminds us of stately timber buildings that have sheltered and nurtured us for thousands of years. Timber is a remarkably versatile and sustainable building material. Whether you are building a home, a barn, a church, or a school, there is a timber structure that is right for you. Timber is the material of choice when architectural drama is the objective and a more mundane structure just will not do. Over the years there have been many popular books written about timber framing. Some give step-by-step instructions on how to build your own timber frame house or shed. But most people are as likely to build their own house as they are to build their own car in their garage. Other books are destined for the coffee table and are filled with marvelous photos of timber homes or barns — what is referred to as “timber porn” in the publishing world. This book is intended to be neither of those (although I might have slipped in a little bit of timber porn, I just couldn’t help myself). This is my story from over 40 years of designing, engineering, restoring, and occasionally building timber structures of all shapes and sizes. Since writing my first book, Antique New England Homes & Barns, which was published in 2017, it has become evident that the age of print books is rapidly drawing to a close. Ever since Gutenberg invented his press with movable type in 1439, people have enjoyed and been enriched by reading print books. But all that is changing. Soon, print books will become quaint curiosities, like vinyl LPs, prized only by nostalgic collectors. Accordingly, Timber Structures is presented in a digital format for your reading pleasure.
