The project is a small roundhouse (10 foot diameter to the inside wall, 12 feet to the outside of the wall). We have looked at several ways to frame it and this is one that we didn't know enough about to discuss well.
To be clear, I have a masters in engineering and I am very familiar with structural analysis and the need for the same. I was trying to find out how the geometry works with the timbers and the joinery without metal. It sounds like the ends of the rafters become pegs for the other members which makes sense. Is there any way to see back issues of Timber Framing so that I can read up on the example you cited?
Thanks for the help!
