Right 12ft or maybe even less. I was thinking four logs in each layer of each tower, I mentioned ripping the logs down to an even thickness knowing that that is not what the ancients would have done. It might be to our advantage to follow exactly what I think they would have done, that is thickness the logs just at the intersecting points, square the intersection on the insides of the tower and the whole thing will almost hold it'self together. If we use birdmouth buttress at the points of intersection we might not even need dowels.
