timber framing
Joinery-based building method
Timber framing is a construction method using large wooden posts and beams joined by fitted joints—typically mortise and tenon—secured with wooden pegs rather than nails.
The exposed framework creates the distinctive look of Tudor and medieval buildings.
A timber-frame house has its skeleton visible, unlike modern stick framing hidden behind walls.
