What is the difference between Log, Timber Framing, and Post and Beam?
Log Buildings are built of logs stacked horizontally, creating the walls. Post and Beam structures are any buildings that have upright posts supporting horizontal beams. Typically, Timber Post and Beam structures are made of timber, held with metal brackets. These may be built of log (round) or timber (milled square). Timber Framing is a specialized version of timber post and beam that is built like furniture, utilizing wood joinery such as mortise and tenon, held in place with wooden pegs.
