What it seems like to me, and IDK nothin', is that the purlin or joist was 1/4" too long and so it was quicker to adjust with square cuts on the girt or rafter than it was to re-cut the depth of the dovetail. I'm halfway through The Timber Framing Book and they mention boxing joints, but I'm unclear on what it means and all the internet want to show me is boxed heartwood centers or box joint jigs. The book defines the term as making adjustments for inconsistent joinery. Seems like what I describe above.
Any input on the matter would be appreciated. Thank you.
