Hello from Mark Davidson, join me here for posts about Traditional Woodworking including: Timber framing, old Ontario barns, structural design, tools of the trade and generally what keeps us busy at Whippletree.
I’ve previously been posting this information on Facebook and I’m excited to move the process to our website and I hope that you will offer your comments and questions about what you see here.
The Whippletree crew is now onsite in Mulmur, raising the exterior framing for the Rammed Earth project. The hemlock timbers are a nice compliment to the colors of the earth walls. More pics to follow!
We are now working on fitting up the frames for the rammed earth build in Mulmur Ont. Glad to see this stage as it has been a long time waiting for the hemlock material to arrive at the shop. Soon I will have some pictures from the raising onsite!
Our current shop project is for a Rammed Earth build in the Mulmur, Ontario area. The timber material is local Ontario hemlock.
These images show the first stage of design on a small sized timber frame.
