Just like beautiful weather, beautiful objects make the day better.

Cookie tops are from someone else's yard; some kind of . The legs are from mine. The "butterflies" are leftovers from the permanent exhibition "American History". Had to buy the resin. For sale, don't ask how much, they're not ON sale. Appx. 18"-20" tall.

How does an olive tree become a table? I'll let you know later.

This doesn't happen often enough.

Someone contacted me to design a frame for them that they wanted to build for themselves. This is their first attempt at timber frame and I got to say I am extremely impressed!

Want your museum to be the top-listed Museum in Los Angeles?

Hello L.A.

My name is Jeff Ingalls, owner/operator of Timber Frame LA. I grew up in Los Angeles, so it’s especially unusual that I find myself experienced in the craft of Timber Framing. Mainly because there is no industry here for it, nor is there a market, nor are there any accessible examples, save for a very few. With a degree in Fine Arts I entered the Film industry; painting, building, and finally designing the construction of sets for commercials and TV. This work evolved into design and management for museum exhibit design and fabrication. My search for craft, purpose, sincerity, and accountability led me first to Japanese Joinery and ultimately to the precision, grace, intent, strength, and beauty found inherent in the craft, and sometimes art, of Timber Frame in general.

My work is to provide Los Angeles with local access to quality, traditionally crafted structures that positively impact the urban landscape, both public and private, and contribute to a renewable future. I believe that whatever we create should weave into the fabric of our lives. The structures we grew up in and around are in the background of all our photos, reassuring us that we were safe and protected. Timber frame is a way of life, not a decoration or even a style. It touches all of the worthwhile points of being a human: body, mind, and soul.
