Don't you have to dry the lumber before using it? Or are the logs dried out already... not really sure how it works, just read somewhere that a kiln dries wood fast and after further curiousity- it was a rabbithole LOL
With timber framing we use green timbers, then assemble it and peg it together. Then it dries all together and the beams kind of hold eachother in place without moving much. It just dries slowly over time. You can kiln dry timbers as well but its not necessary.
@@SharpeTimber Love it! So basically, using a big dowel allows room for the contraction of wood beam/joists, etc. That is good to know as I've been contemplating taking a similar route building with material on my property. I'm just unsure of shrinkage rates on yellow pine vs. white oak. That white oak should serve your family for many generations. Structurally speaking it should be QUITE stout, as well as absolutely gorgeous to look at if it is 'quartersawn' so the 'rays' in the figure of the wood will 'shine' like it does when used for furniture. You guys are truly blessed with the ability to use white oak!
That Mahoe Minimax saw mill makes short work of cutting beams even from oak. When does the cutting of the timber frame joinery commence?
Yes it has been working great! And im hoping to start sometime in May. I have a few big timber frame jobs im working on during my days, im almost finished a 23x25 white oak pavilion, then I have a 20x25 great room to build for a client. When the weather is nice I will be doing the joinery on my frame after work👍
