Greetings all,
I'm in the process of making a slat bed, based one found in the Gokstad
boat burial, and have have it almost finished, save for the pins that go
through the tennons to hold them in place. ( similar to the pattern
here: http://www.dnaco.net/~arundel/bedplan.html )
Can anyone tell me if the original had square/rectangular holes for the
pins or rounded ones? I can't make out the details on the original
photo there ( though he has squared pegs in the pattern ), and I've seen
one other good reproduction, but it used round pegs.
Thanks,
-Edward
