HAND-HEWN BEAMS

HAND-HEWN BEAMS

Hand-hewn beams boast character and beauty that are truly unmatched. They were commonplace before the Industrial Revolution, when circular saws replaced the hand tools responsible for hand-hewn beams’ distinctive brushed hewing marks. Often made from white oak, a very hard wood that does not rot, reclaimed wood beams stand out thanks to their rustic appearance and lasting durability.

Vintage Wood & Forged Iron carries an impressive selection of reclaimed wood beams perfect for all your project needs. Need a single piece for a mantel? A bulk quantity for a larger project? The hand-hewn beams you’re looking for are just a click or call away at our Lancaster County warehouse.

HOW TO USE RECLAIMED WOOD BEAMS

Both stylish and versatile, hand-hewn reclaimed wood beams can be used in a variety of ways to enhance an interior living space.

  • Mantels: Mantels made from hand-hewn wood look good in just about any living room setting, often mounted above a fireplace or just below a flat-screen TV. Whether the décor is traditional, modern, or contemporary, a reclaimed wood mantel will add the perfect finishing touch.
  • Shelving: Reclaimed wood beams make excellent shelves, as their natural wood grain contrasts well with decorative items likely to be placed on them. They’re ideal for photos, candles, and other décor, and their sturdiness makes them ideal for holding spirit and wine bottles in bars.
  • Other: Hand-hewn beams are a dream product for DIYers. They can be cut down to make unique pieces of furniture, serving as table legs, coffee table tops, and much more.

HAND HEWN BEAMS FOR ARCHITECTURAL USE

Not only do reclaimed wooden beams work well in decorative roles, but they also make excellent architectural pieces. Considerably strong and durable, reclaimed wood beams add a unique aesthetic that can transform a room’s appearance.
