From Library Journal
Benson is a master of the timber frame craft, in which large structural timbers are left exposed and thus enhance the decoration of a building. His third book on the topic is another classic in its own right. Benson runs a timber framing business from a hamlet in New Hampshire and is regularly featured on PBS, particularly This Old House. His craft is evident here, but his new book presents his art as wellAit is full of magnificent ideas and examples of thoughtful execution. Benson delineates two dozen projects of various sizes and styles. With 400 full-color photographs and dozens of line drawings, images are more prominent than text. The effect is nearly overwhelming, but it is leavened by an introduction from Norm Abram, the master carpenter of This Old House and New Yankee Workshop. Essential for woodworking collections. This may even find a place in art collections. (Index and epilogs not seen.)AAlexander Hartmann, Bloomsburg Univ. Lib., PA Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Review
For many years it has been a dream of mine to build a timberframe home. One of these days, I'll realize that dream and when I do this book will help stoke the fires of my imagination, maybe I can even get my old friend, Tedd Benson, to give me a hand! -- Steve Thomas, host of This Old House

This book will show the country why Tedd Benson is a source of pride for New Hampshire. -- Governor Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire
