Jon’s timber frame class was very informative. I went in not knowing what I was looking at when shown a timber frame build. Leaving the class, I have the knowledge to look at a structure and know terminology and the processes that lead to a finished product.

Jon was such a great instructor and taught my son and I how to timber frame over a few weekends. Since then I've been able to build two of my own projects and arrange and train a volunteer group to build a large lodge for a kids camp.

Just finished a 5-day timber framing class with Jon. I came into class with some basic woodworking skills and am leaving feeling confident that I can tackle my projects. Jon's approach, patience, passion, and expert knowledge of timber framing made this an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in this time tested approach to framing.

I enjoyed the experience so much, that I have participated in two more of Jon’s classes since then and will likely return for more. I highly recommend learning timber framing from him!
