I wear out gloves in the field like nobody’s business. These bad boys were the star of the show last week, from moving 11 tons of reclaimed barn stone (almost half by hand into and out of a GMC Sierra 2500HD) to running a mountain trapline in extreme cold/icy conditions. Special thanks goes out to Mike Haggerty Sr for turning me on to these!

Most tenons are cut into the end of a timber, an extension of the beam or post. This tenon is actually an added piece... mortised into the end of the timber to function the same. I've never seen that before, and it's fit is flawless, hardly noticeable.
If u look close you can see the seams in the second pic. First pic shows the 4 nails pinning it in place.
Its impressive, and makes me wonder why the original builder needed to do that, seems like an adjustment made on the fly. Goes to show, the old school timber framers had to Jerry rig stuff too now and then, but were a hell of a lot more skilled about it ; - ).
