RE: Existing glulam stamp
It took a while, but I dug out some old records. P-149 was the Weyerhaeuser Company plant at Cottage Grove, Oregon. This operation was closed down in 1992.
Proof loaded indicates that the end joints (most likely finger joints) were proof loaded during the manufacturing process to indicate they met whatever loading was specified for that particular member.
