    I wanted to show everyone the article, showing that most of the time, Allen isn't thinking on the jock level as we always see him here. I also like the title "Stuck Him Blind." Look closely and you'll see a basketball game in the painting.

    Not quite.

    Skylab made a great design into an eyesore. The thing is a behemoth.

    Awesome views though:

    Cross-laminated timber. A 20-floor CLT condo tower is slated to go up near the burnside bridgehead.

    Albina Yard is the first in PDX to use this method:



    Btw, this is the boutique hotel going through design review:

    Five high-rises within a five block radius from the Koin center is really going to change the identifiable skyline.

    Ah! Thanks! I did search on your phrase. Got this website for an explanation.

    "Tall Composite Structures"

    Wood is indeed the most advanced building material available today when combined     with other materials to exploit the advantages of each to make the composite.

    Port Orford cedar is marvelous wood, easy to work, glues very well and the strength to weight ratio is outstanding.
    The best boat building material in the world, in my humble opinion.

    What little that is available is damn near all shipped to Japan these days. A ship load goes about every couple months as the Japanese will buy all they can get.
    It is really a shame that we do not know how to use the fantastic resources we have in our economy.

    Well said! They overpay. They've been doing it with quarter sawn tone woods for half a century.

    Pretty much nailed it. I worked on the layup line (where the plywood is actually assembled and glued) at a plywood mill in southern Oregon. We didn't get to work with Port Orford Cedar very often, but when we did, it was usually a special order to be shipped across the Pacific and usually for custom yachts. Beautiful wood, but also limited. It really only grows in a very narrow band along the southern Oregon coast.
