This project involved the construction and transportation of 10 tree-shaped columns constructed from GL18 Glulam timber (6 layers of 75mm nominal thickness HySpan).

Weighing approximately 3 tons and standing at over 8 metres tall, these columns provide a striking feature to the entry foyer of the new La Trobe Creative Precinct constructed in the regional Victorian town of Traralgon.

Every column was cut using the CNC with precision and accuracy. Once that process was completed, the trees were sanded using the orbital sander, leaving a nice smooth finish, before the application of two coats of paint, and steel connections joined together with timber plugs.
