5.0 out of 5 stars course text book, 13 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This book was used as the course textbook on a timber framing course I did in the UK. It covered all we needed to know. The only shortcoming being a lack of metric stress loadings which are required for UK and european building regulations, however conversion doesnt take long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding guidebook for building your own timberframe home, 24 April 1999
By A Customer
My wife and I built a hybrid timber frame home using this book as a guide. Although we have construction skills, this book was invaluable in guiding us through the process. We can't wait to build another. We highly recommend this book to anyone considering a timber frame house.
