Dave --

I recently saw this detail for the first time on a ca 1814 scribed house frame in Morgan County, Ga -- about 15 miles from here.

As a side note, this would have been one of the very first houses in the area and it was very well built -- not the usual frontier rush job. The sills of this house featured the cleanest and best hewing I have ever seen. So clean, I was blown away. I hope to go back when I have more time and do a proper job of surveying it.
