Ok, usually when I use 2x header i just put them right next to each others. But what if you are building a log home and use bigger beam? I have a header that is about 8 ft long. I want to use 10x8 stacked on top of each other. How do you connect the 2? Do I need to worry about shear flow? I know the 2 can handle the moment but I am afraid if I connect them together I will have failure at connection.
