Authentic reclaimed barnwood beams, handcrafted to your exact dimensions.
Hand Hewn box beams carry the tool marks of broad axes and adzes, carved nearly two centuries ago. Each beam is unique — rustic, authentic, and full of character. Hollow by design, they’re lighter than solid timbers, custom-made to your project, and easy to install.

Are hand hewn box beams structural?
No — they’re decorative only. Box beams are hollow and lightweight, designed to deliver the look of solid timbers without bearing weight.
Can they cover framing or HVAC?
Yes. Their hollow design makes them perfect for wrapping posts, pipes, or ducts, turning functional elements into architectural features.
How are seams hidden?
Through precise mitered joints and careful craftsmanship, the edges meet cleanly so the beam looks like a single solid piece of wood.
