Grandpa was a carpenter. His brother as well. Grandpa built
many barns and houses. The horse shoe rafter was laid out
with 1x boards end to end and a string used to mark the arch.
The arch was cut with hand saw and later circular saw. The
top slivers were stitched under the square butts of the joints
and the joint were half lapped per layer. The barren at the
farm was alternated with 3 layer and 5 layer rafters on 16”
centers. I’ve also seen quansets with laminated hoops where
the 1x4’s are bents to a jig and laminated to form the rafter.

Grandpa’s brother Tony carried on the tradition of round
barns. There are many ways to frame these structures as
well. The pics are in a recent Dairy Star periodical and
reference a new book on Minnesota round barns. Uncle Tony
built the Albany barn.
