Dear of troy: Here is the URL to the article in question. Unfortunately a full page picture of a very large livingroom/study/library that had a pair of crucks sixteen feet high, spliced to an inverted V with peak over forty feet above the floor. The crucks are curved about like parentheses. As far as I can tell, they are not made by lamination. Looks pretty, but I would not want one. Horrible to heat, and enormous waste space. There could have been a second floor, and an attic above that.
