Thanks Bob, I am aware of that fellow's work. It's not timber framed, and not trying to be authentic (and I know he doesn't care about that), but it does appeal to some folks.
Joe posted on the JLC forum last year trying to get advice on how to do a curved roof, a discussion I participated in - I was a bit of a hard ass in my judgements about his take on Japanese carpentry, to be honest, but that is, for me, side-effect of being a both an admirer and practicioner of Japanese timberframing. I was initially drwan to timberwork because of its simple and direct honesty, so attempts to fake it with laminated 2x sticks doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling, any more than, say, phony English Tudor architecture.
You can read the discussion here (I show up on page 5):

Some interesting info on that discussion from Chippy about the origins of the 'Gambrel' roof...

Chris, yeah I know it is NOT TF, but at least it is cool to see the Asian influence in someones yard instead of home depot box deck/ arbor everywhere in my area.
Yes, the real TF, Is in a class by itself and akin to poetry and all fine arts. And they have the oldest wood structure alive today...But, some of these shapes are intriguing to me at this early stage of my search. BG

Nice... That's definately the sort of thing I want to learn how to cut properly. For the time being it's back to square rule (where I can) until the house finished.
