Timber Framing

For 50 years, we've been perfecting the art of timber framing. These are the tools we've been using and loving for the past five decades. Every tool here has been used and loved, tested in our hands and carted around to hundreds of job sites. We've used these tools, from the Robert Sorby chisels and slicks to the Japanese hand saws, on builds for years, and we'll continue to use them and recommend them, for even longer. These tools are extensions of the craft, chosen by timber framers and for timber framers.
