Round Pole

Workshop
The Art of Round Pole Timber Framing
June 5th - 11th
This is the structure we will be working on… It is based on a tea house from the islands off the coast of Japan. We have innovated the design to be more basic European style joinery. We have completed and erected the wall frame and will be focusing on the roof /loft structure. We will be assembling the roof structure upon completion.
We will be sharing how to use and care for the timeless tools originally used by the journeyman of antiquity. We will also be using tools of modern efficiency including a mortise plunger and jigs created assist in precision and efficiency.
