A timber connecter (10) is disclosed comprising a pair of spikes (17 and 18) disposed at the ends of a stem portion (13). The spikes (17 and 18) are disposed in planes (14 and 19) perpendicular to one another such that the connecter (10) may be used for interconnecting respective faces of adjacent timber members (15 and 16) which are perpendicular to one another. The spikes (17 and 18) form acute angles with the portions of the stem (13) adjacent thereto such that they may be conveniently driven into timber members (15 and 16), and the secondary spike (18) tapers away from the axis of the primary spike (17) towards its outer end (30) whereby the timber members (15 and 16) are drawn together during rotation of the stem portion (13) about the driven primary spike (17) as the secondary spike (18) is driven home. |
