DAVE CARLON: Dave Carlon received a B.S. in wildlife biology, with a background in conservation, wetlands, arboriculture,
and other natural resources. He also held the position of Forest and Park Supervisor for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Management. In 1976, he developed an interest in timber structures, and since 1984, has been timber framing professionally
and instructing several workshops each year. He brings to his workshops a wide range of experience and sees timber framing
as an ideal opportunity for delving into history and a fine honing of a skill of the hands, mind, and heart. Dave's expertise
is influencd by a continuing study of historic timber framed structures, tours of timber buildings in England and France,
and the traditional French Scribe system of framing used in the reconstruction of the historic Cabildo in New Orleans, of
which he was a principal.

shapes and materials. He has designed and built a straw clay home for his parents, which incorporates thirty-one forked timbers
and twelve scribed roof valleys into the frame. Josh teaches at a number of schools. He recently cofounded Humble Abode Design/Build with Ben Yeomans
