About Vunagol Editorial
The Broadsheet of Traditional Heavy Timber Framing, Post-and-Beam Engineering & Trusses.
The Master Timberwrights Masthead
Vunagol Timbercraft is an independent broadsheet and engineering monograph dedicated to traditional heavy timber framing, post-and-beam construction, and timber joint physics. We research the structural longevity, joinery geometry, and forestry traditions that produce buildings capable of standing for centuries.
1. Structural Integrity
We design timber frames using verified mechanical engineering calculations and time-tested joinery.
2. Non-Metal Philosophy
We celebrate timber frames that achieve strength through wood-to-wood joinery and drawbored hardwood pegs.
3. Ecological Forestry
All framing methods we promote utilize sustainably managed local timber from selective-felling forestry.
