Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions northwest pegs?

thanks for the feedback, everybody. colin, you've made some good points. i like the idea of the materials all being native to the area. all the wood for my project has come from my land so far, and i would like the pegs to as well. mostly conifers here on my place, but there's some maple and a handful of alder. ever seen an alder peg?
