"ladder" style mortar base
« on: February 20, 2014, 05:36:16 AM »
Is the "ladder" style mortar base an authentic style?  It certainly looks easier to build but how functional is it?

I seem to recall reading somewhere they are not period correct. I personally have never come across plans or photographs of the ladder bed.
