Hand Hewn is a fascinating and inspiring tribute to traditional
timber framing by one of today's foremost expert architects and
practitioners of the craft. In this highly visual book,
internationally renowned builder Jack A. Sobon weaves his personal
history of learning about the craft with its 2,000-year-long
history. Sobon begins with the story of how he fell in love with
what was then a little-known building technique and how he
eventually became the "Sherlock Holmes" of timber framing. Through
evocative text, stunning photography, and hand drawings, Sobon
highlights the intimacy of timber framing: its connection to place
and to the trees and forest, as well as the honesty and artfulness
of the craft, the satisfaction of working with hand tools, and the
thoughtful - even spiritual - nature of design. Ultimately, the
book reveals how contemporary timber framing offers links to the
past, to the natural world, and to the homes and structures that
shape our lives.
