John Buday

Cascade Crest Designs, Owner

John Buday's perfectly reasonable career as a residential carpenter starting in the late 1970s became significantly sidetracked after a chance encounter with timber framing, in the person of one Mark Witter, which led to participation in a 2002 Guild project in Sechelt, British Columbia. Later, in 2006, came the Guild project for the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial for which John was the local hero. Timber framing remains an occupation and preoccupation. Currently John is most preoccupied with the design of his own house in Port Townsend, Washington.

Presentation

The Forces at Work in a Truss
Join us for a panel discussion and Q&A centered on a working understanding of trusses, why it is important for a timber framer to have that understanding, and how these lessons can be applied to understanding other structural components. The panel will be made up of working timber framers and timber frame engineers.
