Wood 2x12s to HSS8x8 column w/o welding
(OP)
The client is asking for a wood to steel connection without the use of welding. We have researched using 3/8" diameter screws in order to make the connection but do not have any experience doing this. We've looked at using Simpson joist hangers, but they do not provide any support for screwed connections.
Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences making this kind of connection?

This might be more than the client wants though. Are they ok with some drilling and bolting into/thru the steel?

Larryhd2 - do you have any experience using TEKS screws to an HSS?

You can shoot the brackets on too, but if your client does not like the idea of a welder, I am sure they do not want to buy the hilti tools.
