BILL AFTER EACH ISSUE… 2 issues would be good

Author
Mike Banta is general manager at 
Mid-Atlantic Timberframes. From a 
young age, he was fascinated by the 
exposed structural elements of timber 
framing and admired the longevity 
and character of the timbers. For more 
than 20 years, he has been designing 
timber frame structures and has 
advanced expertise in glue-laminated timber (GLT), 
cross-laminated timber (CLT), timber and steel hybrid 
systems, and other structural components, including 
structural steel and reclaimed and 
recycled timber. He is also well-versed 
in sustainable design, 3D modeling 
and detailing, CNC programming, 
prototyping, and quality control.
