I want something non-obtrusive for mounting the attachment plate to a wall. Have high loads... maybe look into longer #12 or #14 screws... I generally use lag screws for higher loads.
Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?
Thanks... nice to know; they are attractive and may find another use for them. I was thinking that the head would be an obstruction... that's the reason for the flat head, or maybe a panhead fastener.

The GRK fasteners that jotunn posted are relatively clean-looking, and the local carpenters in my area often leave them exposed. You can also get them stainless if needed.
You can counter-bore the wood so the head is below the surface. It's not very different than the countersink needed for a flat head. Don't forget the washer.
Yup... one of the first. I was looking for a more conventional 'flat head' profile', and was wondering if lag screws came in that type of shape. I've often use lag screws for solid connections and was thinking of something like them. The information I've passed on to the client is for using a large diameter 'conventional' wood screw. I can develop the loads with them. Thanks for the response... my problem is that I'm not normally into wood construction... I do have a penchant for timber framing, having done numerous reports on timber framed barn structures.

Thanks... I wasn't aware of these... and have forwarded the fastener type to 'my' wood guy... from the info...Wood/Wood, Wood/Concrete, Wood/Steel. I'll look into them, they seem to be pretty good.
