Timber Framing: Women and LGBTQ+ Students


  • Building 304 Fort Worden State Park Port Townsend, WA 98368 (map)

6 Days, Open to All

Humans built huge, complex structures before nails and hardware were invented using just the trees growing in their region. Some of those building techniques have developed into different timber framing methods around the world. Timber frames are structures constructed using mortise and tenon joinery fastened with wooden pegs.  This six-day course for women and LGBTQ+ students covers the fundamentals of a New England style of timber frame construction using the square rule method.
