Peter came to timber framing from a previous life of log building and building backcountry bridges on public lands. He is a professional timber framer and designer and has been teaching timber framing coursework at North House since 1998. A serendipitous encounter with a photo of a Grindbygg led to a 2012 trip to Norway to learn more about these amazing buildings. This interest has broadened to other Scandinavian timber frame styles and traditional ways of working dominated by the ax.
