Abstract: The present invention describes a clamp assembly configured to join elongate members, preferably, among others, lengths of wood beam in various configurations. In one embodiment, the clamp assembly includes a pair of gripping members each having a generally planar surface positioned in a confronting relationship and configured to receive therebetween the marginal ends of first and second elongate members spaced apart at an angle from each other. At least one of the gripping members further includes a cradle extending outward and perpendicular (or at some other angle) to a top edge of the gripping member's generally planar surface. Where two or more such gripping members have cradle elements, they can be positioned, among other things, in a direction opposite or parallel to the other cradle. In such alignments, each cradle can receive a length of a third elongate member, such that the third elongate member, and the first and second elongate members are joined to each other.
