In the spring of 2000, I took an introduction timber framing course at Fox Maple School in Maine.
The fall of that year, I took the traditional timber framing course taught by Jack Sobon and Dave Carlon, in western Mass.
I would recommend either of these courses for learning the basic skills needed.
If you intend to work with planed timbers the school in Maine is for you. If you intend to work with rough timber and do it using square rule joinery the other one teaches that.
There are lots of books out there and you can get them from the guild online store or summerbeambooks.com. She has a lot, also. Good luck with your project. Jim
