We are just home from installing these beautiful arched beams for St. Andrews Church in Ridgefield, CT. We will have to go back and photograph this church once the construction is complete.
The beams are a combination of douglas fir timber, glulam arches and steel connections.
Heavy timber adds a wonderful look to a church… or it will, once the aluminum foil insulation is covered up!
Here is a view looking up at the cross in the church truss.

Such a cool project, can’t wait to see more pics!!
Thanks, it was a lot of fun. The trusses were hoisted in place via chain falls. We can’t wait to see the finished product.
HI – i love the color of the doug fir beams here. I am building a timberframe and strugling to choose a stain color. I like the rich color here and the red looks toned down a bit. would you mind sharing the stain color that was used here? much appreciated,
Thanks

Hi Fiona! The stain color is Minwax Special Walnut.
