I got Steve Chapell's book and read it. I learned alot of if info from it. I still have a few questions though. One question I have is since the pavillion is not going to be enclosed is it still appropiate to use step lap rafter seats to hold the rafters in place or is there a concern with wind getting up under the whole roof and lifting it up? The roof boards are 1.5 inch popular. Also does anyone have any experience with ash or locust in timber framing?
Thanks
Chris
