oak frame

Wooden structural support

An oak frame is a structural skeleton of a building made from oak timbers, joined with traditional woodworking techniques like mortise and tenon rather than nails or metal fasteners.

Oak framing dates back centuries and remains prized for its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal: They built the barn with a traditional oak frame.

The exposed beams often become a decorative feature in homes.
