Timber pegs

As we build structures on our new farm, I am designing buildings that are durable, low cost, and made from local materials and up-cycled goods.  I want everything to be non-toxic, and beautiful.  This takes more time, but costs less, and lasts longer.  Here, I show the shave horse I built to turn black locust timber pegs, and how I use the horse, and a draw knife, to make the pegs.

Here is an Amazon link (for which I get a small commission) to the draw knife I'm using, and some tools to keep it sharp!
