wooden pegs??

[clarkin]

I understand the definite strength of a 3/4" bolt and even the added stabilty of lag screws, but is there an extreme drawback of 1" wooden pegs or dowels??

Yeah, I had a heck of a time getting the nuts to start on 'em..<img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_107.gif' border=0>

What use are you contemplating?

Sounds like old style mortise and tendon timber framing to me.
