Timber Framing Class
This summer, June 10-14th, Sophie Linnell is teaching a 5-day Historic Timber Framing class through North Bennet Street School (NBSS). The class will meet Tuesday through Saturday and construct a timber frame structure using traditional mortise and tenon joints, learning the layout and construction of historic New England timber framed structures, including barns and dwellings. Construction methods cover the use of traditional tools including framing chisels, hand saws, and marking gauges. Prerequisite: None.
