Timber framing course
Post-and-beam construction, or building a timber-framed house, is an alternative to traditional log building for constructing both small and large houses. At a Timber Framing Course at Gränsfors Bruk, participants learn the complete process of timber framing from raw logs to a finished structure.
Using traditional methods, broad axes, and tools from Gränsfors Bruk, participants are taught the fundamentals of timber framing construction as well as techniques for joinery and raising the structure.
Whether you are a beginner or already have some experience in timber construction, the course offers a unique insight into traditional craftsmanship in an inspiring environment in Gränsfors. The course is held outdoors under cover and is led by an experienced timber craftsman.
