Who can join the Guild?
Membership in the Timber Framers Guild (TFG) is open to any individual or business interested in timber framing. Our members include timber framers, students, engineers, architects, designers, business owners, timber purveyors, tool suppliers, teachers, historians, preservationists, sustainable builders, industry suppliers, owners, and aficionados.

Why join?
Members connect with individuals who are passionate about timber framing, learn more about timber framing, take part in community building projects, educate others, and invest in the work of the Timber Framers Guild. In addition, by joining a Guild Council, you can pursue your specific interests in the community. Our Councils include the Timber Frame Engineering Council, Traditional Timber Frame Research Advisory Group, and TFG Companies.

What are the member options and benefits?
 

Individual and Family Members can connect with timber framers around the world, attend conferences, and participate in community building projects. Individual members also receive a subscription to our quarterly journal Timber Framing, member magazine Scantlings, and receive member rates on events and Guild store items. Read More Here

TFG Companies and Institutions: Craft, and the craft of business, are deeply intertwined. Our goal is to build a vital timber frame community with a strong market where all can thrive. Well-run companies are the key to a prosperous industry. TFG assists and connects those who work at our institutional members.  We offer educational opportunities and create collective public outreach programs designed to increase awareness – we tell the story of timber framing. Companies, colleges & universities, non-profits, and other institutions may join and receive value. Read More Here

Visionary Partners (VP): These are companies that make an additional contribution to support the mission and activities of the TFG. Funds received from VP members are used to expand our educational programming, member communications, and additional services to all members. In exchange, Visionary Partners receive recognition as industry leaders, additional exposure in the marketplace, and bundled TFG products and services at a substantial discount. Read More Here
