Reviews
traditional oak framing
The advantages of green oak framing as a method of construction still hold
good today. Although oak is more expensive than softwood, it has an attractive figure, and the natural durability of the heartwood allows for exterior use.
It is now generally accepted that timber is a good choice as a construction
material on environmental grounds, being the only renewable structural
material, and having a low embodied energy.
The gradual rise in concern for environmental issues has also favoured green
oak, which locks up carbon, has a low embodied energy, requires no preser-
vative treatment and can be sourced from sustainably-grown forests. Today
the oak frame is an accepted building form, capable of being weather-
proofed and insulated in accordance with present-day regulations, while at
the same time providing a link to the buildings of the past.

Oak frames are assembled using a traditional technique called mortice and tenon joinery where timbers are joined with a housed joint and oak pegs or dowels are generally driven into holes which have been draw bored; that is the hole in the tenon is off-set by about 1/8 inch (3 mm) towards the shoulder. The action of driving the peg home draws the two members together, and, if the shoulders have been well cut, results in a robust and rigid joint, with the peg effectively locked into position.
