It’s a tradition for timber framers to mount a tree branch up on top of a newly built frame.
I’ve heard several versions of how it all began, and that is all well and good, but what I’ve found important is the festive mood that watching a man climb to the top of the frame and nail an evergreen branch up brings to the site. It’s time to celebrate!
