Saddle-notch corners: These are also known as saddle cope or round notch. They get their name from the saddle shaped notch cut into the bottom of each round log. This notch on the bottom of the top log straddles the top of the log coming from the perpendicular wall. Both logs then extend past the corner. The opposing walls of a saddle-notch corner system, both gable walls for example, start with a half log. This ensures that the logs overlap one another at the corners rather than butt into each other. The saddle-notch is one of the most traditional corner intersections and is favored by many handcrafters. 1, record 3, English, - saddle%2Dnotch%20corner

Swedish cope with saddle notch corners. Swedish Cope round logs give this profile option a precision-cut appearance. A saddle notch corner features logs that are a half-level apart, thus overlapping rather and butting into one another at the corners.

Assemblage des billes de bois rond formant les coins de la maison dans lequel la bille supérieure est creusée pour épouser la forme de la bille inférieure. «On trusquine les assemblages en sabot sur chaque extrémité du rondin à l’endroit où il croise à angle droit le rondin qui se trouve juste en dessous».

Avec la technique scandinave [...] on ne se contente pas d’empiler les billots les uns sur les autres, en les croisant aux extrémités. On encastre les billots les uns sur les autres, en les mortaisant sur toute leur longueur et aux extrémités [Suivi d’une illustration]. Ceci élimine les fentes entres les billots, qui sont le point faible de la maison de bois rond ordinaire, et permet à la maison de s’asseoir de tout son poids, scellant définitivement les joints. 5, record 3, French, - encoignure%20chevauch%C3%A9e

Une maison de bois rond construite à partir de la technique scandinave n’est pas qu’une simple habitation. Cela relève plutôt de l’artisanat. [...] vos billots sont coupés avec le plus grand soin, transportés sur le chantier et ensuite écorcés manuellement. Par la suite ils sont marqués à l’aide d’un compas à niveau dans la plus grande précision. Une fois les billots marqués, une latérale et des encoches sont taillées dans le bois à l’aide d’une scie et le découpage est ensuite achevé au ciseau à bois. De cette façon, tous les billots s’assemblent parfaitement. Ils sont, en fait, tous encastrés les uns sur les autres de manière à sceller assurément les joints. 6, record 3, French, - encoignure%20chevauch%C3%A9e

The Rouergue and Quercy regions both nested in the colourful Aquitaine, supply us with this small 40 gr cheese. It can be made with goat or ewes milk and sometimes with a mix of the two. The Cabecou, with its 45% of fat in it, is nonetheless called a soft cheese, covered with a thin bluey natural skin which appears only when the maturing and ventilation is carefully done. The taste is very unique and you can find some hints of nuts according to its village of origin. Its name comes from the shortened version of "small goat" in Oc, the local southern language. 1, record 4, English, - Cabecou

Petit fromage rond, de 4 à 5 centimètres de diamètre sur 1, 5 centimètres d’épaisseur, au lait de chèvre cru, à pâte fraîche non pressée et non cuite et à croûte naturelle.

Sa croûte est fine, uniformément jaune pâle; sa pâte est tendre et crémeuse, au goût légèrement lactique avec un parfum de noisette, sa texture est homogène. En raison de sa petite taille, ce fromage arrive vite à maturité. Le temps d’affinage varie de dix jours minimum à quatre semaines maximum. 2, record 4, French, - Cab%C3%A9cou
