Traditional Joinery

Traditional joinery is the classic way to connect timbers in post & beam and timber frame structures. It is an elegant and beautiful style of construction. Mortises and tenons are cut into the beams, which are secured together with hardwood pegs.

A joint is the area where two separate timber pieces connect. In timber framing, there are many different types of joints and connections. A frame can be completely constructed using traditional joinery, or a frame can be constructed using joints that are reinforced with steel plates and steel ties that are capable of carrying particularly heavy structural loads.

All of our joints are custom designed and engineered to fit the individual requirements of each of our projects.
