If you were first starting out in Timber Framing what would be your top three books to buy?
I'm finding so many that look so good I don't know if there's a true best book to start out with.
So far I've narrowed it down to these three:
The TimberFrame HomeDesign Construction Finishing by Tedd Benson
Building the Timber Frame House by Tedd Benson
Build a Classic Timber-Framed House: Planning & Design/Traditional Materials/Affordable Methods
by Jack A. Sobon
Then there's the Timber Frame Guild's new book but that doesn't seem like one of the best FIRST books to get. Looks like its more about plans?? I really can't tell what it's all about from their description.
Thanks everyone and have a happy and healthy New Year!!
