In this research, it is achieved that a quite rigid column-beam joint system for a timber portal frame. The developed joint system is strengthened by compressing processes that veneers impregnated with a phenol formaldehyde resin were cross-lapped and consolidated with hot press. The full scale portal frame experiment showed that the moment transmitting performance recorded has revealed that the strength of the joint was the full performance of the member strength and the rigidity of the cross-lapped area could be enough to regard the joint as a rigid one.
