Fully assembled and ready to ship. Unfortunately I was busy and did not get a better picture of the completed truss.

B-21 Raider built with Lumber :slight_smile: Just kidding. This looks amazing and the finish is superb.

How did you do in Rhino all those joints? I must import all drawings into carpentry software.

Boolean differences and unions mainly, Mergeallcoplainersurfaces cleans it up nice and of course you can’t forget trim and cap.The joints themselves are just made with experience and research. :slightly_smiling_face:
I am working on a grasshopper alg that would make trusses with joinery and automatic beam sizing using just a few specifications like span and pitch. I have had some success but still have a ways to go on that project. Maybe that all answers your question. By the way, here is the company I work for. https://www.iowatimberframe.com/ :smiley:

Actually it is just planed material. No sanding at all. A little hand plane and chisel work though.
