If someone is jumping on top of it I would recommend resting the beams on
edge on the posts. Looks like just a couple of lag bolts taking that weight.

For our next play I had to build this round rostrum.It will, when the
set decorator finishes with it look like a round pouffe or ottoman.
The shot underneath is to show the studs in the construction. To those
who look at that bit and think 'over engineered' I say only that the
lead female in this play has to dance atop of this thing and she is not
known for her svelte waif like figure.

When it gets dressed and the set is fully painted I'll post more pics.
