Abstract
To give an otherwise fastened wood or wood-like structure the appearance of a bolted construction, first and second wood or wood-like structural members are provided. Each member has first and second sides with the first member second side being positioned adjacent the second member first side. The two members are thereupon fastened together. A simulated bolt head is then secured to the first member first side with a simulated bolt end being secured to the second member second side so that the simulated bolt head lines up with the simulated bolt end giving the appearance of a bolt passing through the structure. A simulated bolt for use in giving the appearance of a bolted construction in a wood or wood-like structure includes a fastener, having a shank and a tip, as well as a simulated bolt portion. The fastener and the simulated bolt portion are secured to each other.
