What is "timber framing"?

This technique relies on the natural strength of wood, with the beams often joined together using traditional methods like mortise and tenon joints, sometimes reinforced with wooden pegs. Timber framing creates a strong and durable structure, and is often used for its aesthetic appeal, showcasing the natural beauty of the wood. This method is commonly used in constructing homes, barns, and other buildings where the exposed framework is a feature of the design.
