Advanced Timber Framing
Master the craft of complex timber frame construction with Advanced Timber Framing, Steve Chappell’s definitive guide to compound joinery and traditional roof systems. Drawing from more than 35 years of hands‑on building and teaching experience, Chappell breaks down the geometry, design principles, and structural logic behind advanced timber framing. This comprehensive volume explores the seven planes of compound joinery, offering clear explanations, detailed diagrams, and practical instruction that bridge historical techniques with modern craftsmanship. With over 348 pages of expert guidance, it’s an essential resource for builders ready to move beyond basic post‑and‑beam work.
Divided into two major sections—Design & History and Geometry & Joinery Systems—the book provides both the theoretical foundation and the technical precision needed to execute complex roof systems with confidence. Whether you're a professional timber framer, a dedicated craftsperson, or a builder seeking to elevate your skill set, Advanced Timber Framing delivers the depth, clarity, and real‑world insight required to tackle challenging projects. This is the kind of reference that becomes dog‑eared in the workshop and indispensable on the job site.
