Buckingham Timberworks is a woodworking company specializing in timber framing and traditional joinery.
Timber framing is a traditional form of building with larger timbers using pegged mortise and tenon joints. The joinery and frame design work together to create structures that are as long lasting as they are stunning. Joinery is cut using a combination of hand tools and hand held power tools.
Our furniture is designed using simple ratios and geometry to create forms that reflect the natural world around us. We blend traditional joinery methods with modern tools and methods to help us work efficiently to create durable pieces. Hand carved decorations add a unique, hand crafted touch to our furniture. Our design and joinery methods combine to create furniture forms that are beautiful, functional, and last for generations.
Owner Fred Buckingham was introduced to timber framing through a class at The Workshop in Steubenville, Ohio, which initiated his journey into traditional building and woodworking methods. Since then he has spent countless hours researching and experimenting with hand tools and traditional joinery methods, and how to incorporate them into a modern workshop. He always strives to learn more about his craft for personal growth, and to better serve those for whom he creates.
