HANK SILVER
OWNER
Hank has a broad range of carpentry experience, but traditional carpentry and timber frame joinery is his passion.
Hank has worked on a wide variety of timber frame projects, has built and raised timber frames across New England, and is proficient at timber frame design as well.
As a member of the organization Carpenters Without Borders he has been lucky enough to travel the world as part of an international crew, taking part in uniquely rewarding projects - such as reconstructing a 12th-century castle bridge in Normandy using only period tools, and re-building the roof of the chapel that houses the tomb of Leonardo da Vinci. Hank co-led the group’s 2019 project to build a hand-hewn workshop for Mortise & Tenon Magazine - their first project in North America. He features prominently in the documentary film that resulted (link below).
Hank is an active member of the Timber Framers Guild, has authored several articles for the guild journal, Timberframing, and has taught timber framing at Yestermorrow (VT) and The Heartwood School (MA).
