Take a look below at one of our jobs featuring both box beams and solid hewn beams. Both have their pros and cons, with the main difference being weight. Just one of the truss structures shown below weighs around 350 lbs when made with box beams, while that same structure in solid beams would weigh upwards of 1,200 lbs.

One of Jason’s creations. A 16′ walnut table made in two 8′ lengths to be put together and used as a conference table.
