Beams:
We
carefully dismantle and salvage beams
and timbers from 18th-and 19th-century structures slated for
demolition. A portion of this material is set aside for decorative
uses, such as exposed beams and mantles.
Years of aging and exposure to the elements have given this historic material a marvelous, rich patina that cannot be found in new wood. The surface of each beam is unique and one-of-a-kind: subtle color variations, mortise pockets, surface checking, bolt and nail holes are some of the characteristics of antique beams.

We offer three surface choices in our antique beams:

Old Surface Retaining the original surface texture and color developed through a century of exposure to the elements. |
Hand-Hewn Retaining the original axe marks used to square the beam from a fallen tree. |
Re-sawn We mill the beams to your specifications, sawing off the old surface for a precisely squared beam that exposes the grain of the wood. |
