TIMBER FRAME STRUCTURE
Mortise and tenon
A mortise and tenon is a classic woodworking joint where a protruding "tenon" on one piece fits snugly into a corresponding hole or "mortise" in another. This style can be applied to nearly all varieties of Lumber.
Truss A truss is a structural framework composed of straight members connected at joints, typically arranged in triangular units to efficiently distribute loads. It is commonly used in bridges, roofs, and towers due to its high strength-to-weight ratio.
Dovetail
A dovetail is a strong, interlocking woodworking joint where wedge-shaped "tails" fit into corresponding "pins," creating a resistant bond without the need for nails or screws. It's commonly used in drawer construction and fine cabinetry for its strength and decorative appeal.
Rafters
Rafters are sloped structural beams that support a roof by extending from the ridge or peak down to the walls. They form the framework that holds up the roof covering and helps distribute weight evenly.
Many of the techniques we use today trace their roots back to the log cabin raisings of the early Appalachian frontier. At Gust TimberCraft, our artisans handcraft each piece with the same precision and craftsmanship as those used by our forefathers.
