Typical barrel framing
Most of this roof was stick framed, except for a section of flat top trusses to span the width of the front room which was around 38' wide. All stick framing had to tie in to the trusses with hips, valleys and the largest barrel which was over 16' wide. The ribs for the barrels were two plies of 3/4 CDX plywood, manufactured on site. Typically, these would just progress up between two built up common rafters. In the case of the barrel framing pic, the ribs had to tie into a hip and valley as I worked toward the top, making it tricky to maintain a true centerline.
