In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: tenon position (William Mayberry)

I noticed the beam is laminated. Placing the tenon at the bottom may be intended to prevent placing the glued joint under tension when there is a load on the deck. I don't have a similar explanation for placing it off-center horizontally however.
