Have you ever felt up or seen dowel pins in old barns whereas mos
of the structural lumber was maybe logs split in half and the bark
is still on them many many7 years later? as a younger kid I had
sight then and often though what work it must have been with a brace
and bit to drill perfect fitgtings for gowels that would hold so
much weight in a farm barn. . Or. did I see or feel just pegs. that
went all the way thru? Lee
