For over 30 years, Hugh Lofting Timber Framing, Inc. has been crafting timber frame homes and structures in its Kennett Square, Pennsylvania shop. In the early 1970's, Hugh left his career in rodeo riding to return home to Chester County. Here he began his construction career restoring period homes in the Lancaster, PA area. It was then that he rediscovered his love of furniture building and of the architecture of Southeast PA. Long interested in the construction and joinery of Chester and Lancaster County barns, Hugh was one of a handful of woodworkers in the country that were responsible for the revival of the art of timber framing in the United States. Hugh has traveled extensively, domestically and abroad, studying timber framing methods across cultures. His work is influenced by European, Asian and American techniques. Hugh Lofting Timber Framing, Inc. has designed, crafted and raised timber frame structures throughout the United States.
