Timber Framers Guild Forums General Barns and Traditional Timberframing Pegs -- riven, sawn, drawn, turned, driven, etc?

Hi,

Its odd - but when a timber frame is being trial asembled it is common practice to use tapered steel pins to pull the assembly together but later when being erected in its final place - wooden pegs are employed. Same hole but different terminology (pins / pegs) depending on whether or not the securing device is removeable ?
