Rich,
There was a recent This Old House where they used a timber framing
company in the northeast. The company, Bensonwood, drew up the plans
with input from the owners to be and then produced the timbers as well
as the wall and roof sections that went with them. They basically put
the whole thing together in sections at the factory to make sure
everything fits and then it is all shipped to the site and put together
by the same team. Sounds like the easy way to do the whole thing. This
is the link to the the Weston House.

I am trying to get a Professor of Timber Framing at the local American
College of the Building Arts here to help me get a timber frame designed
and cut, for some reason the professor can't find an engineer to approve
the design. Must not be an aspect of the curriculum? I suppose I could
do all the structural calculations for the frame design, then find
someone to stamp it, but I really wonder why this prof can't sort it out.
