Mourad Manesse, Traditional Timber Framer

Timber framer who works in a way that has almost disappeared in France, I use only hand tools, from log hewing to joint cutting and most of the times raising.

Traditional techniques allow very interesting use of wood, for very faithfull restauration or style effect purposes. It's also a joyfull way of working, that keeps the old craft alive.

 Member of the British Carpenters Fellowship I mainly work everywhere in France but jobs can be done elsewhere if needed. 

You may find on this website many photos that explain my work better than my bad english talk.

 I'm involved in:

Traditional Timber Framing - Demos - Roof Framing - Half timber houses - Straw Bale houses - Frame drawing.
