Crafting Frames of Timber with Mike Beaudry

On May 7th and 8th, 2011, hand hewing and timber framing expert Mike Beaudry lead a two-day Crafting Frames of Timber workshop at Newforest Institute in Brooks, Maine. Starting with logs, participants hand hewed dimensional timbers, cut joinery, made trunnels (wooden pegs), and raised and trunneled the frame. The finished product will be a roof frame for Newforest’s solar shower building. Mike Beaudry is the author of The Axe Wielder’s Handbook, Crafting Frames of Timber and Hewing with the Broad Axe. H
