Thanks for that info.

I'm a "conventional" General Contractor, so I use Simpson products quite a bit. But for this one, I'm trying to go a little more traditional.

I had thought of a wedged dovetail, but depending on the size of the rafter, it would probably have to be wedged from the outside. This plan is for 4x6 rafters, and a 4x6 mid-height girt to hold them.

I've been looking for that book by Jack Sobon, "Historic American Timber Joinery", and Amazon doesn't have it anymore. I just found out I can purchase it through the Guild. Sweet.
