The Devil's in the Thingee Part 2
More criss-cross fascia boards, and you thunk it an obscure builder's folly. Not so, an obscure blog writer's folly perhaps.....
We gotcha long tips.
We gotcha teensy-weensy tips, or ends.
We gotcha walk-outs and bays, Tudor details and extra stickwork, the panoply of Craftsman expression.
Does this qualify as another example of faux joinery*? Arguably, since one piece is merely butt jointed (a technique whereby two pieces are joined simply by butting together), rather than cross-keyed, a more exacting technique exhibited in some mission furniture of the time.
*see the archive for postings on beam ends, etc.
Don't make me drop a part 3 on you fools.
