Some entirely new words are here, like jowled and riven, all ancient language still in use today to describe this truly unique craft. We hope this glossary can help you feel more comfortable with timber framing "shop talk" and gain the language to understand and describe what you love about timber framing. The buildings and illustrations here are of simple forms for clarity. From a design for a working barn, this bent created agricultural space on the lower floor and a residence above. This 4 bent, 3 bay building also featured principal rafter and common purlin roof.
