Guild Rendezvous: Western

Registration Now Open!

Join us in the rolling hills of madrone and ponderosa pine as we head back to Yale Creek Ranch in the Applegate Valley of Southern Oregon! 

We will layout, cut, join and raise a timber frame for a local nonprofit organization.  There will be a full lineup of informative presentations and demos, plus local vendors... and of course, there will be an opportunity to get your hands on tools and make some sawdust!! All experience levels welcome, and a fun event for the whole family. Amazing farm to table meals provided and camping on site, all included.  

Let's make some Guild magic together! 

Limited scholarships are available! Scholarships will discount your ticket price by $100. To apply for a scholarship, please click here

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.
