Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Elegant in its simplicity and immensely strong for its fewer parts, a timberframe home is a thing of beauty, designed as much for its pleasing symmetry as for its strength and longevity. With joints resembling those found in fine furniture, the timberframe structure not only gives interiors an architectural grandeur that surprises and delights, but also houses its occupants in woodsy comfort. The Timberframe Plan Book is a hands-on guide to choosing the floor plan for the home of your dreams. Handpicked by some of the field's premier builders and designers, each plan comes to life with vivid interior and exterior photographs and helpful hints to consider when choosing the timberframe medium.

Save Your Money,
By Steve Pilz (Carnegie, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Timberframe Plan Book (Paperback)
I found this book a waste of time. Looking for actual timber frame plans, instead I found a bunch of pictures in no particular order or organization. May make a makeshift coffee table book for people to read while you think big thoughts in your completed timber frame home, but it sure won't help you design one.

This review is from: Timberframe Plan Book (Paperback)
Don't buy this book!
Unless you want a lessons in terrible architecture and how NOT to build a timber frame. The pictures are also the worst quality I have ever seen in a book. Waste of my money.

This review is from: Timberframe Plan Book (Paperback)
This book is ok but not quite what I was looking for. There doesn't seem to be many plan books for Timberframe construction.
