Loghomeology - Glossary of Industry Terms

Our friend Tom Heatherington from the Log Cabin Directory has put together a comprehensive glossary for people interested in the the industry and related industries.

Below is our first phrase, one that Tom takes credit for and offers a pretty good definition.

"Timberframeology"

The methodology behind half-timbered construction in which a visible skeletal frame supports the structure. This is also referred to as "timber frame" construction, a building method using mortise and tenon joinery that is centuries old.

Acknowledgment: The Log Cabin Directory

Subscribe our blog and stay tuned for a bunch more glossary terms that will help you understand the talk of the professionals.

"Air Drying Timber"

As opposed to kiln dried logs or timbers. Air drying involves stacking green timbers out of doors in open sheds, so that the wood surfaces are exposed to the surrounding atmosphere. Air movement through the stack removes and evaporates moisture in equilibrium with the temperature and relative humidity of the atmosphere.

"Post (post & beam)"

Vertical construction (support) members used as uprights supporting a beam (i.e. post & beam). A vertical or upright timber.

"Western Red Cedar"

This species is found principally along the western edges of British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. A soft, straight-grained wood that is extremely resistant to decay and insect damage. It is used extensively in roof coverings, exterior sidings, fences, decks, and log homes. (Species: Thuja Plicata)
