Special Events
Our Conference line-up, besides offering education and fun, includes Pre-Conference Workshops, numerous seminars and the following Special Events:
-
Our Benefit Auction, one of the highlights of our Conferences, is now online for pre-Conference bidding and also for donating items. If you can't come to Saratoga Springs or want to send an item and support the Guild, please visit www.tfguild.net.
-
The Trade Fair will be underway, featuring suppliers for the timber frame industry who will display their products and services and explain in detail how they're used. Meet those who support our craft in the field, including panel suppliers, tool vendors and wood brokers. The Timber Frame Business Council (TFBC) organizes the Trade Fair. If you wish to exhibit, contact the TFBC at 888-560-9251, or info@timberframe.org. Don't miss the Trade Fair Mixer with food and refreshments on Friday afternoon.
-
Also, Charlotte Cooper and Bill Devereaux will once again bring the Summer Beam Bookstore for one-stop shopping and browsing for all those hard-to-find titles on woodworking and timber framing. Sponsored by Duluth Timber Company.
The TFG Benefit Auction is a major fundraiser of the year and made successful through our members' generous and creative contributions of goods and services. Our auction format gives plenty of space for the generous contributions of our members and plenty of opportunity for everyone to have a good time. Whether your donation is big or small, heavy or light, edible or wearable, serious or silly, it helps your Guild. If you cannot attend the Conference, please consider sending an item. Sponsored by Hundegger USA. -
Slide Show: Be a presenter! Share your experiences, your problems and your work. Everyone's work is welcome at this Conference highlight. Bring ten of your favorite slides (or better yet, send a CD in advance with electronic images) related to your work in timber framing. Further details will be included with your registration confirmation.
Download the information for submissions.
The Timber Framers Guild Membership Meeting will be held on Saturday morning, when we can discuss what the Guild has been doing and where we are going.
