Alaska Timberframe in Fritz Creek, AK, US (United States)

Timber framing is a centuries-old craft that has evolved into an advanced technology to produce visually appealing structural building framing using heavy-timber posts, beams and other supporting elements. Timberframes give the interior of a home an elegant architecture with a natural feel. 

Q: What's the difference between timberframe and post and beam construction? A: In a post and beam structure the timbers are joined with metal bolts and hardware. A timberframe structure has no metal.
