Stephanie Dailey walks through the timber framing details on a Park City, Utah home build, joined by framing expert Tim. The conversation covers why timber is used selectively — primarily for aesthetics on gable ends and the entry — rather than throughout the entire structure. They discuss joinery methods, including traditional mortise-and-tenon with wooden pegs alongside concealed steel hardware, and how structural and design considerations sometimes pull in different directions. Timber sourcing, seismic design requirements, and the cost difference between true structural timbers and interior finish carpentry also come up naturally in the conversation. Stephanie also previews an upcoming full log kit home build sourced from Canada.
