Western cedar bents are assembled and pegged on the ground.
The bent is raised and connector beams and braces are added.
A keyed scarf joint settles into place.
Black walnut pegs add contrasting accents.

Western cedar "bents" are assembled and pegged on the ground.


My son, Brendan Matthews (www.traditionalbarnraisers.com) built this pergola for his cousin using timberframe joinery and raising techniques.
