Synopsis
Hand Hewn is a gorgeous celebration of the traditions and artistry of timber-frame building, a 7,000-year-old craft that holds an enduring attraction for its simple elegance and resilience. Internationally renowned timber-frame architect and craftsman Jack A. Sobon offers a fascinating look at how the natural, organic forms of trees become the framework for a home, with profiles of the classic tools he uses to hand hew and shape each timber, and explanations of the engineering of the wooden joinery that connects the timbers without a single nail. Inspiring photos of Sobon’s original interior home designs, as well as historical examples of long-lived structures in Europe and North America, make this a compelling tribute to the lasting value of artisanal craftsmanship and a thoughtful, deliberate approach to designing buildings.

From the Back Cover
"Wood is the material most like man," writes master timber framer and architect Jack A. Sobon. He has devoted his life to developing a kinship with wood and with the hand tools he uses to shape it into graceful timber frames that can make an indoor environment feel simultaneously cozy and connected to the trees and forests out of which it was built. Through the lens of his personal history, accompanied by stunning photos of structures both ancient and modern, Sobon offers a unique celebration of the 7,000-year-old craft of timber framing.
