Chamfered joist and header

Detail photo in DeTurk kitchen showing the "stopped" chamfer [see footnote {2} in DTR09PH119--1001.01.215] on the original first floor joist south of the northern outlooker; the chamfer on the southern edge ["arris"] of the joist extends part-way under the tenon of the anchoring header, stopping a few inches from the intersecting relieving lintel, apparently ignoring the "intersection" of the joist with the extended section of the header through its southern tenon. The chamfer on the header [see DTR09PH119--1001.01.215], by contrast and apparently honoring the tradition, stops before reaching the "virtual" intersection with the extended section of the tenon of the northern outlooker [the cantilevered support for the doorway hood]. The outlooker appears in the lower center of the photo bearing across the upper relieving lintel spanning the kitchen window and doorway. Laurence Ward, 2010
