A cruck is a curved timber. It is hand made with broad axes from a curved limb or trunk of a tree. Crucks were matched according to shape and used to support roofs. The resulting roofs were not flat, but were curved in a sort of arch shape.
Aside from the use of crucks, a building built with them was just like any other building. It had a little more volume than a similar building made of straight beams, but not a lot. Crucks were more expensive and difficult to use than straight timbers, so they were not usually used in inexpensive construction.
