Glulaminated Timber & Natural Timber

Sometimes the combination of natural timber with laminated is just what is needed to get the job done...like in this case. Trellis work for the Lake Taghkanic Bath House in Taconic, NY.


Theses beautifully done glulam arches are made from douglas fir. Sometimes a glulam beam is needed due design loads and/or shape. If you look closely, you can see the lamination seams. We thank Alamco Wood Products. Working from our shop drawings, they created the wooden arches.


The glulam arches will connect to natural douglas fir timbers with steel joinery. The end result, I'm sure, will be gorgeous. (don't worry, I'll post pictures)!
