Special Events

One-stop shopping! Conference and Pre-Conference Registration Fees include meals and lodging. We'll reserve your room.

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 three-tiered 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. For the first time we'll be opening this event up to the public - we expect a favorable response to the magnificant Azumaya, built the week before by the Japanese workshop.
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. This event will be open to the public, as well. -
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.
Slide Show: Be a presenter! Share your experiences, your problems and your work on Friday night. Everyone's work is welcome at this Conference highlight. Bring ten of your favorite images (or better yet, send electonically in advance) related to your work in timber framing to share on Friday night. Further details will be included with your registration confirmation. Randy Churchill is coordinating the Show. Details on how to enter the show will be sent upon receipt of your registration. Download the information for submissions.
The Timber Framers Guild Members Meeting will be held on Saturday morning, 8:30 sharp, when we can discuss what the Guild has been doing and where we are going.
