  And all wood! (Steel would be too heavy for this construction)

  Are they completely solid beams? I've seen steel buildings like this one but have never seen a wood framed one.

  Yes, they are solid. This is a real wooden construction. Trust me, with steel this construction wouldn't have been possible in this shape.

  Oh yes, it would have been possible with steel beams, it was just too expensive to build these arches with steel.

  Exactly Adstar. Arches lend strength through their own shape and you wouldn't need as much material to make them as strong as wood.
