Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions Cruck and scribe workshops, what to study?

Hi Tim,

Excellent point about the shrinkage - I hadn't even thought about that effect. If the practice shown in the first photo is correct then the pegs will be pinched together in one plane by the collar and then again in another by the cruck blade which are not quite set at 90 degrees to each other so maybe the cone or teepee shape that the pegs are currently seen to form handle this best. I shall keep an eye out more examples.

Regards

Ken Hume
