As beautiful as our hand-hewn beams are, our Original Face Rough Sawn beams may be the “cleaner” rustic appearance for your project. Original Sawn beams feature the original circular and/or pit saw marks created from early saw milling practices of using water or steam-powered saw blades. Used as structural elements in late nineteenth and early twentieth century barns and other wooden buildings, original sawn timbers provide a “cleaner” and “smoother” surface than hand-hewn beams while preserving the patina and rustic texture found only in antique timbers.
Normally available beam girth sizes range from 3” x 4” to more than 12” x 12,” and lengths up to 40 feet. Vintage Lumber beams are usually sold power washed, metal detected as needed, sawn one or more faces as required, and BoraCare treated for insects and mold. Please contact to discuss your specific needs.
