Our Cottage Wood Box Beams are made of tamarack wood.
This wood box beam piece was made by hand in the early to mid 1800's.
It was an upright beam in a Wisconsin barn. Pioneers used a hewning
axe to make this type of beam. There were stands of tamarack in Minnesota,
which were located near the St. Croix River/Wisconsin border. The amount
of original hand hewn wood available today is diminishing very rapidly.
Note: All our box beams are
made from authentic reclaimed wood. All are unique and may contain
nail holes, distress marks, checking, or peg holes. Each beam will
have an individual look due to warp, twist, wain and inconsistency
of material thickness. This adds to the realism and character of authentic
reclaimed wood. Due to the irregularities in reclaimed timbers, the
inner dimensions of the box beams will vary. Please be very careful
when cutting through these beams. There could be nails and/or screws
buried below the surface. Use caution! Barron Designs is not responsible
for any bodily harm or damage to your equipment.

All material is authentic reclaimed lumber from turn of the century buildings. By using reclaimed lumber, we conserve our natural resources and preserve a piece of American History. All material is hand selected and made with close attention to details. The wood comes from barns, grain buildings and warehouses. The majority of the wood comes in lengths from 14' to 16'. Occasionally it will reach lengths in excess of 20' but this is extremely rare. All surfaces will be rough saw and have beautiful patina and interesting character marks. These marks will create each piece to have a unique look. Nail holes, peg and post holes, worm holes, cracks and other distress marks will be present in all sides. Due to its authenticity, lengths over 12' may require a saw tooth joint. Our goal is to make these saw toothjoints look as authentic as possible. They are part of the interesting story behind the wood itself. Saw tooth joints were used to join timber so they would span the entire length of these majestic buildings of the past.
