The Newcomb Timber Frame Shop Prints
Build one of our most popular timber frame cottages yourself!
The Newcomb frame could serve as a cottage or a year-round home for a retired couple or single person. This timber frame design is a hybrid: the timber roof sits on a regular 2x6 exterior wall rather than on posts and top plates like a full timber frame. Hybrids give all the beauty of timber frame construction with less timber, and therefore, less cost.
The timber shop prints for the Newcomb consist of 22 pages
of timber drawings and details plus helpful hints on layout and cutting
and a list of timbers required to build the frame.
