THE ATF TIMBER STYLE QUIZ

What Do You Really Want? The design is very subjective and influenced by many factors including your personality and identity. This guide will define some examples of timber frame styles, give you an adjective-noun screening exercise, and ask you some quick questions to help you define the overall look and feel of your future project.

Your values are reflected in your project. If you do some introspection into what you stand for, you will find that many of the adjectives used to describe yourself can be applied to your timber framing project.
