Monastery Timber Frame, Day 11-12

Timber framing terminology

Looking back, I see that prior posts provide little in the way vocab. Fortunately, the posts aren't too technical, but a brief labeling of the terminology can't hurt. Note, I shaded the bracing elements to give a better sense of how the pieces are working together. Also note, that, save the chord and king post, all the pieces are doubled per truss. 

Friday's quiz might cover some of this material. Study well and work hard.
