Reclaimed Hand Hewn Box Beams:

 Step back in time with our reclaimed hand hewn box beams, each one a testament to the skill and hard work of early American craftspeople. Originally crafted between the early 1800s and early 1900s, these beams were once the backbone of family barns, homes, and warehouses. Today, they offer a unique opportunity to incorporate a piece of history into your space while showcasing the rustic beauty and unmatched character of antique wood.

Each reclaimed hand hewn beam bears the authentic, telltale marks of a broad axe—the primary tool used by early settlers to transform raw logs into usable timbers. These markings are more than just visual; they tell the story of an era when hand-hewing was an art form, requiring patience, strength, and skill. The result is a one-of-a-kind texture and aesthetic that modern machinery simply cannot replicate.

No two beams are alike. Crafted from native hardwoods such as oak, chestnut, and maple that once grew abundantly across the eastern United States, these timbers reflect the diversity and richness of their origins. The variation in grain, color, and texture ensures that each beam is a statement piece, brimming with character and individuality.

Our reclaimed hand hewn box beams are available in a wide range of sizes, making them a versatile choice for various applications. Whether you're designing a rustic mantel, framing a vaulted ceiling, or adding architectural interest to your home or business, these beams deliver both beauty and historical significance. Their lightweight box beam design allows for easier installation while maintaining the authentic look and feel of solid timber.

By choosing reclaimed wood, you’re not only investing in timeless beauty but also contributing to sustainable practices. Repurposing these beams gives new life to materials that have already stood the test of time, reducing the demand for new lumber and minimizing environmental impact.
