Tenon on Post Sans Beam
Friday, April 25th, 2008
Bethlehem, Connecticut. A good friend of mine builds timber frame houses and thought I might want to take some pictures of the assembly of a large, Japanese-style house his crew is putting up.
Post and beam or timber frame construction is beautiful and impressive on many levels but the part that interests me the most as a wood butcher, not a woodworker, is the joinery.
This is a tenon that will fit inside a mortise or slot on the beam making a mortise and tenon joint.
