Let\u2019s talk briefly about the basics of timber framing and its evolution from the past. Many thousands of years ago, when people needed shelter and a place to live, wood was usually the building material of choice although timber frame styles were affected by wood scarcity in the Middle Ages due to the over-harvesting of trees. But in general, wood has been a renewable resource and readily available throughout the ages.<\/p>\n

Another thing builders of old liked about wood was its relative lightness. It is also effortless to work with, as opposed to stone or steel. Wood is a cinch to shape, carve, and mold.<\/p>\n
Wood also has high insulation value, great load-bearing capacity, and helps with acoustics. Compared to a carpet, wood is loud, but compared to a concrete vault, wood is as quiet as a church mouse!<\/p>\n

Despite wood\u2019s inherent weaknesses, such as vulnerability to rot and fire, it was sti l the building material of choice for most early builders. When you consider all trade-offs, from convenience to speed to longevity and investment cost, wood was an easy choice. Until the Industrial Revolution, metal fasteners and nails were expensive and hard to come by. As building know-how moved from crude tepee\/lean-to type structures to joined wood structures, crafty builders devised wooden pegs to hold these structures together.<\/p>\n
They came up with many timber joining variations using wooden pegs to build better structures. These commonplace joints, such as the mortise and tenon, are now celebrated by builders and owners alike with the revival of timber framing. the decline of Early settlers to America brought the timber frame styles and methodologies of their home country with them.<\/p>\n
History experts within the timber frame industry can identify the historical origin of a frame by its unique joinery, layout, markings, and architecture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As you might expect, well-to-do clientele funded this passionate resurgence. Great detail went into replicating old joinery; these early adopters tended to be purists. As the timber frame revival gathered steam, economics and practicality entered the conversation builders and clients were having. It did not take long for the majority of timber frame projects to implement some form of hybrid timber framing. Some purists might view this as sacrilegious and use derisive terms such as \u201ctrimber framing\u201d or refer to metal connectors as training wheels. (Trimber Framing refers to the use of non-structural timbers used to capture a specific look. A heavy piece of trim, if you will.)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Despite its detractors, economics and logistics can make this a practical choice in many situations. I myself had trouble with \u201ctrimber framing\u201d in my early days of post and beam construction. But when I thought about how pragmatic the builders of old were, I realized that my desire to be a purist was founded on a slippery ideological slope. The purist mindset simply could not withstand the logic and benefits hybrid timber framing brings to the table.<\/p>\n I like to think that the pragmatic timber framers of old smile from their graves in agreement.<\/strong> I also believe builders of today are every bit as ingenious and crafty as builders of old. What we see being built around us today doesn\u2019t evoke the same sense of awe as the old structures built with old tools and primitive building methods do; in part, this is because building improvements are commonplace and al around us. Another reason it is hard to value today\u2019s craftsmen is the human tendency to alow frustrating things we experience with the building industry to overshadow the good. From time to time, ever since I was young, I have heard carping about how \u201cThey don\u2019t build like they used to.\u201d I find this an irritating knock-off of the exasperated statement consistent with older generations throughout the ages: \u201cKids these days! Harumph!\u201d<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/arrowtimber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Floor-Plane-Home-Page.jpg” alt=”post and beam construction” title_text=”Floor Plane Home Page” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Today, some professionals are hack artists and simply don\u2019t care\u2014just as there were in the old days, but we have a choice to focus on what is good. Al around us, owners, architects, and builders are figuring out more effective and creative ways to build better and smarter to get what they want. Trade magazines, blogs, and other building news resources of every stripe are a testament to the drive and ingenuity of people in today\u2019s building industry.<\/p>\n The Timber Framers Guild has been extraordinarily prolific in documenting and sharing information to help the Timber Framing craft. I feel a sense of thankfulness to the timber framers of bygone years, to the timber framers of today, and to clients who are attracted to timber framing. This loose, informal community of timber frame enthusiasts has given us what we know today as Hybrid Timber Framing. This community also gives us motivation, helps us find enjoyment in our daily work, and furthers our sense of purpose.
