In 2018 we're combining our apprenticeship and timber framing curriculum into one four-week intensive course, offered from June 429. This course will include timber framing, basics of building, scribe rule and square rule layout, timber frame design, engineering and joinery decisions, wood science and selection, power and hand tool use and maintenance, and roof framing including hips and valleys. Individual week-long course modules may be taken separately for those who can't commit to the entire four weeks. Visit our website at
the Heartwood School for more info, or click the links below.
