Adam Miller is an independent carpenter and consultant specializing in timber and log framing.  His practice ranges from practical, vernacular projects in the New England square-rule tradition to complicated, innovative works that push the boundaries of organic-form scribing.  He has a particular research interest in l’art du trait, the stereotomical drawing tradition of the French compagnon carpenters.  A frequent presenter at conferences of the Timber Framers Guild, the Carpenter’s Fellowship (UK), Stolpverk Norden (the Scandinavian timber framing association), and the Kominka Summit (Japan), his articles have appeared in Log Building News, The Mortice and Tenon (UK), Northern Woodlands, Scantlings, and Timber Framing, the technical journal of the Timber Framers Guild, for which he has served as editor since 2018.  Adam teaches basic and advanced curricula for the Heartwood School (Washington, Massaschusetts, and Alstead, New Hampshire), the Timber Framers Guild Community Building Workshop program, the Canelo Project (Arizona), Bard College, and in private instruction.

Adam is also cofounder and principal at Kominka North America, dedicated to the adaptive reuse of beautiful, ethically salvaged Japanese timber structures.

He lives in the hills of Vermont and travels widely for interesting projects.
