We receive questions like this all the time:
“Can I use green timber to build my timber frame?”
“How should I store my timbers until I am ready to build?”
“What if my timbers were all stored for different amounts of time?”

In this video, Pat explains why we use green timber and how to store your timbers for longer periods of time.
