Studs are also the namesake of a type of timber framing called close studding. The exterior is decorated with close studding and chevrons. The building was a plain rectangular hut of sawed lumber nailed lengthwise to upright studding. Above the window is a carved tie-beam, and a gable containing herringbone studding. Their upper floors were built with jettied box frames in close studding. The two-storey, T-shaped building has both close studding and small framing with brick infill. Greyfriars is a two storey timber frame building with close studding and jettied upperfloor. Techniques include distressing jeans, bleaching jeans, redesigning an old shirt, and studding denim. Boots with soles that are too flexible are unsuitable for studding. Another northern style was to use close studding but in a herring-bone or chevron pattern. The east wing is timber-framed, with close studding, on a rubble stone plinth. The lower storey has close timber studding and an eleven-light leaded window. The cars were built with welded, closed studding filled with wood. It has two gabled end bays, one of which features close studding. These are called studding sails, and are used with fair and light wind only.
