We love showcasing our work and meeting anyone planning a timber-framed project. Meeting us at any of our events is a great way to discuss your plans, get expert advice, and find inspiration for your project, whether it’s an oak-framed house, glulam extension, Douglas fir cabin, larch annex, or other structural timber outbuildings, while speaking directly with homeowners and the team behind each build.
Here’s where you’ll find us in the coming months. To book an appointment, email hello@carpenteroak.com. Keep checking this page for upcoming events, new listings, and free ticket links!
