Classic Milled Wood Box Beams are reclaimed from Rock
Elm wood. Because this is dimensional circle sawn lumber, it can be
dated back to the early 1900's. Band type mills were used first near
port areas like the Lake Superior region and near the Mississippi River.
The circle saw mills came into the region around 1920.
The wood most likely originated from trees on the farm where
the granary was located. This floor joist stock held heavy loads of
grain inside the granary — that is why it was selected. It has
great tensile strength. Rock Elm is native to the Minnesota and Wisconsin
regions. Its name originates from its strength.
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, wane 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
located in the Midwest. 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. The minimum
width of the wood is 7 3/4" and comes as wide as 11 3/4".
Any widths wider will require a splice joint. Every attempt will
be made to conceal the joint by hand distressing and wood texture
matching. Being authentic material, its actual thickness will vary
on each piece from 1 3/4 " to 2 1/4". 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 scarf joint. Our goal is to make these scarf
joints look as authentic as possible. They are part of the interesting
story behind the wood itself. Scarf joints were used to join timber
so they would span the entire length of these majestic buildings
of the past.
