I saw photos of a four sided story pole but it had different timbers (and notes) on each side, one side had marks for several standard lengths plus brace and joinery layout. At the time I knew the difference between timber frame and post & beam, but didn't have a clue how lines drawn on a stick could translate to a 'dove tail tying joint'.
Does anyone recall seeing this same article? It might be from a coffee table sized book on old tools, but I recall it as being a fairly in depth magazine article.
I hunted around for reference to it online when I first read Jim Roger's story pole post in the FF but apparently it's too old and obscure.
