Hand Hewn Beams
We offer a large inventory of reclaimed hand hewn beams in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and species, including White Oak, Ash, Elm, Hickory, and Maple. With sizes ranging from 5×5 to 14×14, we can supply anything from a single beam to full packages for large residential or commercial projects. Each beam can be custom cut, cleaned, and prepped to meet your specifications, ensuring it’s ready for installation. From heavily textured surfaces with rustic adze marks to more refined, hand-planed finishes, our beams provide authentic character to fit any design style.
Circle-Sawn Beams
Antique circle sawn wood beams offer the perfect balance of historic character and refined craftsmanship. Cut using a circular saw rather than hand hewn methods, these reclaimed beams feature clean, consistent edges while preserving their aged, authentic appeal. Salvaged from historic barns and structures, each beam reflects the unique species and milling techniques of its time, making every piece one of a kind. Our reclaimed circle sawn beams showcase a range of natural patinas. From light to deep brown tones and are available in species such as White Oak, Ash, Elm, Hickory, and Maple, making them an ideal choice for adding warmth, texture, and timeless character to both modern and rustic spaces.
Resawn Beams
If you’re looking for a clean, refined look while still preserving the character of reclaimed wood, resawn beams are an ideal choice. Our reclaimed resawn wood beams are milled from original hand hewn and circle sawn beams, allowing us to retain the integrity of the aged material while creating a smoother, more modern finish. Each beam is carefully processed through a bandsaw to remove the weathered outer layer, then planed and precision-milled through multiple passes to ensure a straight, level, and consistent surface. The result is a high-quality reclaimed beam that offers a clean appearance with subtle, authentic character. Perfect for both modern and transitional spaces.
Hollow-Out Beams
In many new construction and remodeling projects, exposed LVL or steel I-beams can disrupt the look of an otherwise finished space. Our reclaimed wood beam covers, also known as hollow or faux beams, provide the perfect solution. Using authentic hand hewn or circle sawn antique beams, we carefully hollow (or “canoe”) each piece to fit over existing structural members, creating the appearance of a solid, original beam. We can also hollow beams to reduce weight for decorative ceiling applications without sacrificing their authentic character. The result is a seamless, natural look that blends perfectly with your space, making it virtually impossible to distinguish from a true solid antique beam. Simply provide your dimensions, and we’ll create a custom-fit reclaimed beam cover tailored to your project.
Custom Box Beams
Box beams offer a practical and stylish solution for covering exposed steel or wood support beams, similar to hollow or faux beams. Designed as a three-sided beam, box beams use less material, making them a lightweight and cost-effective option for both residential and commercial applications. Each reclaimed wood box beam is handcrafted in our shop using precision lock-mitered joints for a seamless, high-quality finish. We offer a variety of custom stain options, along with your choice of hand hewn textures or circle sawn markings, allowing you to achieve the authentic look of a solid antique beam while maintaining flexibility, affordability, and ease of installation.
