split frames

[Cazza]

Can anyone remember when split frames were superceded by solid frames?

Does the lack of replies mean no-one is old enough to remember them? Some-one must be venerable enough to have an idea?

Never heard of a split frame might it have been called anything else?

I only know of it as a split frame. Basically, the top bar was in two halves and I think then nailed together, presumably to hold the foundation.

I am curious because I have two which I don't use any more and I wondered how old they were.

Carbon dating? Dendrology?

If Rab cannot remember them then it must of been over 200 years ago.

Not so many years ago as Dave Cushman used to make them.
