Awesome!
This book talks about many of the important aspects of classic timber framing. The book was easy to use and will continue to be used as a reference when building the timber frame house. Very well put together and very knowledgable author.

Hanford Mills museum 
My friend is a master carpenter and he saw this book at a recent trip to Hanford Mills museum.
He is an avid reader and loved the book so much that I am inclined to read it as well!! Enjoy.

A very good how-to manual.
If you are expecting a book full of glossy sharp pictures, this is not the one to buy.A lot of drawings and BW pictures that inform what they need to. This is a very good manual for those who want to venture in a timber frame project.
