Councils & Committees
Timber Frame Engineering Council (TFEC)
The Timber Frame Engineering Council was formed in 2005 at a Guild conference in recognition of the considerable number of structural engineers among the Guild and in response to a felt need for systematic research, discussion, and codification of timber frame joinery and structural practices. Our members are dedicated to advancing the technology of timber frame engineering. Read more about the TFEC
Traditional Timber Frame Research & Advisory Group (TTRAG)
Membership in TTRAG is for those Guild members who actively pursue a better understanding of historic timber-framed structures and techniques. TTRAG members meet annually in a location rich in historic timber structures, present illustrated talks to each other, and follow a historic buildings tour. In addition, the group produces an annual public conference that includes speakers from outside the Guild and tours of local historic buildings. Read more about TTRAG
Community Building Projects
We are committed to connecting with communities and people, sharing the story of timber framing, and learning and teaching through doing. To that end, we work with localities, non-profit organizations, and coalitions of organizations to build beautiful timber frame structures that will benefit and strengthen the people and places where we work and live - as well as those far from our own homes.

TFG Companies
Craft, and the craft of business, are deeply intertwined. Our goal as an organization is to build a vital timber frame community with a strong market where all can thrive, and our Companies Committee provides support and guidance as we develop educational opportunities for developing business skills and creating collective public outreach programs designed to increase awareness – we tell the story of timber framing.
