Hi Tim
I appreciate your input on "character logs", a general term I use, are there other, better terms?
From my reading, crucks are old style curved timbers in a A frame to support roof, where logs are often sliced down middle to get symmetry.
Usually logs are cut at the crook or to minimize sweep loss, however in TF, open interior tie beams or posts are potential use, I guess.
The only use of bent logs(two way sweeps) I can think of, can go into unique signs support, other than naturally curved braces?
I like the idea of small diameter tapered logs trimmed with wane exposed on sides for roof rafters.
I rather see these logs go into a frame rather than the waste firewood pile.
Still learning to be different!
