: On Wren I cut thin strips of cedar for the lip and glassed everything. I will
: probably just use ply for the lips on this one too.

: Again, thanks to (almost) everyone for the help.
I have built round concrete forms using strip or plywood and put white drywall tape in between the laminations for some tensional strength, nice and thin and cheap. Some of the glu-lam beams have glass between the bottom laminations.
