Ken,

We actually did one tie as continuous and half-lapped, the other mortise and tenoned and discontinuous. An educational experience. I guess I never noticed the lack of wall braces.

The wall post and cruck blade each have their own tenon, and are skew pegged together (see pic). Ken, do you have any comments on skew pegging (how they hold up over time, etc). Don't see it much (or at all) over hear with our boring rectlinear frames.
