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

Hi Dave,

Excellent shots of the cruck event. What did you learn that you can share with us ?

For example, can you explain to us why so much material had to be removed from the lower outside of the cruck blades ?

The blade appears to have been positioned and aligned on the inside edge of the sill resulting in the large cruck blade overhang on the outside of the sill ?

Could the post not have been brought down to enter the back of the blade in order to preserve more of the cruck blade ?

Regards

Ken Hume
