Item Description
This hand hewn timber frame is the result of hundreds of hours of work by North House students and instructors over 9 days this spring. Starting from whole white pine logs - each hand hewn and in some cases resawn - this 12 by 12 timber frame, with magnificent tool marks showing off its truly hand-crafted nature, rose from the mountain of wood chips and shavings.
This is a rare opportunity to own a frame that was created entirely with hand tools.
Learn more about the crafting of this timber frame
The joy and beauty of timber frame construction is an essential ingredient at North House, both from a coursework perspective and throughout campus. Three buildings on campus feature the beauty, utility and strength of timber frame construction. All of the timbers in these buildings have been shaped by the willing hands of students -- this auction item features the same high-quality joinery.
Timber framing has been part of North House since the school's beginning. In addition to hosting Basic Timber Framing workshops, North House also offers opportunity to truly build your own, ranging from smaller frames for a beautiful sauna to custom frames for a family getaway cabin. A detailed CAD plan of the frame itself is provided to consult as you consider options for footings to slabs, windows to siding, woodstoves to doorways.
Item Special Note
North House will fully disassemble and stack the timber frame prior to pick-up. The winner of this auction item is responsible for transporting the timbers off campus no later than Oct 15, 2018. North House will provide assistance with its forklift for loading. For more information, contact North House staff at 218-387-9762.
