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

Hi Dave,

Could it be that the post tenon is occupying the slot that the cruck tenon should be sitting in ?

Maybe that's why we see cruck posts sitting on the back of cruck blades ?

I was told that it is more or less a personal choice as to which style you use. Running the post to the sill is a stronger means of carrying the plate load. I did see some slides of posts joined into the backs of crucks in the slide show.

thanks for sharing the pics Dave... can almost hear the HEEE OH HEAVEs
