Bibliography In the extensive MOT library you will find literature on many aspects of half-timbering. You will find separate publications on techniques such as squaring beams or splitting roof shingles. Much has been published on the work of the carpenter in general, it is difficult to provide an overview. We will therefore limit ourselves below to publications that specifically concern half-timbering and that mainly concern Flanders. For questions or literature on half-timbering in the countries surrounding us and elsewhere, you can always contact the MOT. You can also consult our technical library yourself, by appointment: tel. +32 2 270 81 11 - info@mot.be.  ARENDZEN G. en VRIEND J.J., Bouwkunde.
