Pegs are roundish, too. Same effects. In the link Jim provided I noticed nice clear stock for their test, for predictable constancy. Where are the test with knots at strategic locations? Say, the key placed right where a knot is, or have a knot just below the key in the shear plane. Any test with this, how about at any of the guild events where they have busted joints? Results? Is it worth it to take the time to lay out keys on through tenons with knots in mind?
