Description of Custom Reclaimed Pioneer Beams
The Pioneer Beam will have a rough surface with either band or circle saw cut marks. Each beam will be carefully hand sanded to keep the surface as close to original as possible. This will allow the natural patina to show when sealed. Beams will contain nail holes, nails, checking, and other distress marks. Each beam will have a "rustic tilt" look due to nature’s natural drying process. Because this is authentic material, each beam will have unique character. No two beams will be exactly the same.
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. 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.
