ABOUT US
Traditional Timber Frames is a business led by Chris Nance that specialises in traditional mortice and tenon timber framing. These frames are suitable for a wide range of structures ranging from small garden buildings through to majestic homes.
As a carpenter from the Southern Highlands of NSW, Chris was the recipient of a scholarship in 2006 that allowed him to travel to the UK, and learn from a craft that has been practiced for centuries. This opportunity gave Chris the chance to learn the skills, designs, procedures and traditions of a beautiful craft and caused him to develop a real admiration for the trade.
Traditional Timber Frames uses the British ‘Scribe’ method of timber framing, which Chris learned under the teaching of Alan Ritchie, www.hewnwood.com, in Wales.

''For the last 18 months I have trained and worked alongside Chris and have found him to be an absolutely first rate carpenter. He has picked up the traditional timber frame building skills faster than any other apprentice I have trained. This is undoubtedly because he shows true dedication to his work.
I have always found him to be honest productive and completely reliable and would recommend his services most highly.''
