And the truss would be placed right there 'on top of the wall plate' ( which is on top of the column) as opposed to hanging on the side of it as it appears to be at the Lodge at Sunspot restaurant. Please show us your drawing of the connection you imagine is used at the Lodge at Sunspot restaurant.
I wouldn't be surprised if every vertical is steel clad in decorative wood. Look in the upper left. The ceiling doesn't seem to be resting on the logs. Hanging from firing under the rafters I imagine. Those vertical logs are oddly grown. A full half on the outside and another full half on the inside ... and what about the wall thickness? What does a horizontal cross section of those logs look like? (==)
