Hi Brad,

I can understand that. You are correct, that working with twisted timbers or live edge is a skill in and of itself...I think you should have an easier time with layout too if the timbers are all "neat and clean."

I guess thats why I like the Asian timber framing methods so much. With line layout we really just stop looking at the timber/log for other than character, strenght, species etc...if it is twiste or bowed a bit...that makes no difference...

Sounds like you have lots of fun ahead of you...Keep us up to speed and I will log into you blog to follow along...

Regards,
