Our Craft. Our Commitment. Our Future.
Members of the Timber Framers Guild are craftsmen. Pioneers. Historians. Laborers. Artists.
And some - a few - are Visionaries.
Visionaries see the future, while looking to the past and living in the present. Visionaries see the possibility in the world around them and in the community in which they live.
Our Visionary Partners (VPs) support the future of timber framing by supporting the Timber Framers Guild at the highest level.
