Best books to learn Timber framing, in order
Timber framing is joinery first and lumber second, so the order runs from the cut to the raising. Start with how loads travel through a frame and why the classic mortise-and-tenon and scarf joints resist them, then learn layout and hand-cutting to tight tolerances, then bent design and the choreography of raising a heavy frame safely. Skip the geometry and your beautiful joints won't line up.
