I'm reading Carl Condit's "American Building: Materials and Techniques from the Beginning of the Colonial Settlements to the Present" and looking up some of what he writes about for further clarification and details. The foxtail wedged tenon joint at this link and the ingenuity, precision, and skill that goes into making it, are one of the most beautiful things I've come upon in woodworking. Wow.
