The masts were built from clear, vertical grain Douglas Fir and had to be constructed to very precise dimensions. Beginning at 8" in diameter and tapering to the tops, they ranged in length from 17' - 4" to 20' - 3". These masts were custom made to meet the architect's needs, and had to be within...
