Hi Tony >From what little I know. The laminations should run at 90 degrees to the sheer force. Therefore the laminations should be horizontal on a spar.

Is the orientation of the laminations significant? I'm not sure why but all the laminated timber beams I've seen have the lamination layer horizontal. I can do this but in this case I'd waste less wood if the laminations were vertical. Does it matter?
