Thank you for the references Ken. I'm pretty wound up about the whole thing, as you can imagine. I'm still very new to timber framing, although I have been exposed to it since a very young age through visiting barns and Eric Sloane's books. Sloane may have had a few misconceptions, but his books were accurate enough for me at the time.
I have before me my new TFG members packet, as well as Historic Timber Joinery, Timber Frame Joinery and Design, I and II, as well as my first copies of Timber Framing and Scantlings. Yes, I am in deep.
