Cool picture. I like the use of the bowed log to form the central arch. "Cruck framing" began in England ~1200-1300 AD, after the king had harvested all of the straight trees on the island. Commoners began using creative construction techniques to utilize what the king left behind.
The British used to deliberately bind their trees to make keels and such in the 1700s, 1800s...
By the time the tree had reached mass... ships were made of iron.
Michner's "Chesapeake" has a very good piece in it about that. A man learning to build ships learns how it's done and he becomes a master ship builder using that method.
Michner did some serious research for his books. While they're fiction, you can learn a lot of history from them.

But I'd for sure be banging my forehead on that last joist unless I spray painted it fluorescent lime green, which would probably take away from the design intent.

Michner also made a bunch of stuff up that he passed off as history too!

Well, it is fiction. He never claims to have it all historical. You have to learn to sort out what is and what isn't.

Cannot stand reading Michner! He was not much of a writer, just a half-assed editor assembling the works of others.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
There was a thriving business in Central Alaska in bent larch growing on hillsides for boat building. When softwoods grow horizontally much more wood grows on the concave (uphill) side of the trunk and more wood is left after trimming away the juvenile wood. They could cut matching arcs with room to adjust the curves to match others.
Hardwoods put more wood on the underside.
