In 2026, members of the Timber Framers Guild will gather across North America for regional events: casual weekend celebrations of timber framing where we work and learn together, share stories of life and our craft, and build a small project to share with a community organization.

We invite sponsors to join us in bringing these invaluable community events to life. Our sponsors are recognized across our social media, on our website, and in event outreach and materials. Whether you donate materials, space, or meals, or support these events financially, your contribution is deeply appreciated by the members volunteering their time to develop these Guild Rendezvous.
