Hello,
The two authors I mention only because they write explicitly to compare Japanese and Western Carpentry. This is at the core of the topic which was not technical but implied a incorporation of Japanese style into Western Framing. And what I was trying to get at is the question of where the off-set boring and pegging fits into Japanese joinery regardless of how much it is or is not employed, with the intention that a general understanding can help clarify the specific use. I use the technique most commonly employed in boring the hole as an explanation of why draw boring is foreign to Japanese joinery where the wedged or keyed joint is used in its place.
Greetings,
Don Wagstaff
