 Inspirational and Useful September 25, 2008
This wonderful book provided the inspiration and encouragement to use the methods described to build a timber frame structure. Not quite as grand as some of the homes pictured, but the the concepts and lessons provided were very useful.
 An idea book June 22, 2008
This is a great book. Either you are about to build a home and considering a timberframe, in which case the book is backed with useful information, or you are like me, and dreaming of a timberframe home and only reading the book thinking about how grand it would be to go through the process described in the book. Either case, the book is wonderful for what it is.

After reading the book I concluded I have zero hope of building one and I need to contact the author to build it for me. Brilliant brouchure for his company. I would take off stars for the flagrant selling but you know what it is just that good a book on the subject and the fact is its hard work and he is good at it. Hell just buy the book and have them build it.
 A book about very, very big houses February 5, 2003

This book contains wonderful pictures of homes that are mostly 5,000 sq ft and larger. With one exception it completely ignores fine smaller timberframe homes. I was reminded more of ski lodges than homes by the places featured. But the pictures are nice and if a 5,000 sq ft plus size house is what you're interested in I suppose this book has some interesting ideas.

Whether you are going to act as general contractor, or hire it all out, this book is a great over view of all of the aspects of building a Timber Frame. While not dwelling in great detail, it has lots of drawings, photos, and descriptions, to acquaint the reader with construction techniques, electrical and plumbing considerations, and room layouts in a typical Timber Frame home. Definitley another fine book from Mr. Benson.
