Computed tomography (CT) scanning makes the interior heterogeneity of the sawn log visible and therefore available for steering the further processing of the log. We investigate how we can strategically map the sawn resource onto specific areas of glue-laminated timber beams, integrating a wider variety of material quality into the final product. Working directly with the felled log also opens up opportunities for steering the aesthetic and textural outcome of the final elements – retaining and exposing some of the raw uniqueness of the tree.
