Round wood rafter connection

[TomRosa]

Hi, I was wondering what are my options regarding the connect of roundwood rafter onto a round wood structural ridge beam and wall plate.

This will be a low pitch roof around 25* or 6/12. taking a clay tile roof.

Ive seen some people just flatten both contacting surfaces, and screw.

Or a simple notching of the rafter.

I just google things like that. Do round timber to round timber, then click the link for images at the top of the results page and look through pics until you find what you want or watch some of the vids.  Lots of great ideas.
