Traditional timber frame joinery is used to produce aesthetically pleasing structures. Timber joints are interlocked with dovetails, splines, mortises, and tenons. Timber frames designed by DeStefano & Chamberlain demonstrate the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

"Raising a timber frame building is a magical moment. Weeks and months of hewing and sawing and boring and chiseling with nothing to show but a pile of numbered timbers culminate in just a few hours." —Roy Underhill
