The Timber Framing Book by Stewart Elliott and Eugenie Wallas is a 1977 illustrated guide to building a timber frame house, from cutting the joints to raising the frame.

It was one of the first books of the timber framing revival. It covers cutting mortises and tenons and the other basic joints, rafters and the raising, with drawings by Linda Foss and photographs by Jeremy Foss and Randy Hillner. The framing it shows is plain and rough sawn, the working side of the craft rather than the furniture-grade style. Paperback, 8.5 x 11 in, 169 pages.

The book first came out from Housesmiths Press in Maine. This printing is from Alan C. Hood & Co. of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
