There is some great information to my question from some very knowledgeable craftsmen. I know we will have to have proper designs and attention to code, but here in the land of the Douglas Fir I have reason to believe the timber companies may sponsor this project. With the facade at 70 feet,and length at 140 feet, and two rows of interior posts running the length, for estimating purposes and a preliminary approach to the timber mills, what dimentions of timber should I be requesting?

The Convention at our little ski village in Whistler is coming up. If you are in Vancouver, let me know.

Wood butchers with stories are always welcome.
