Round Pole Timber Framing with Eric Lasotavitch and Blair Phillips

In this two-week hands-on round pole timber frame workshop we will show you how to set concrete piers according to plan and build the frame for a 10×12 gable roofed building. Round Poles have been previously harvested during forest health and fire remediation work onsite. The workshop will briefly cover pole selection and pole peeling, with the primary focus being framing and chiseling of mortise and tenon joinery. We will share with you how to read simple building plans and will also have slide show nights giving overview of other projects and earthen infill options to inspire your creativity. On the final day of the workshop we will assemble the frame in its forever home.
