Historic American Timber Joinery - A Graphic Guide

Funded in part by a generous grant from the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (of the U.S. National Park Service), this pioneering series is intended to discuss and illustrate joints in traditional American timber-framed buildings.

You are free to view this on-line, to download and print out the PDF files at no charge.
