Pine Hand Hewn Unfinished Beams (BM102)

Pine Hand Hewn Unfinished Beams showcase the soft, varied tones of century-old reclaimed Pine, revealing a more open grain than hardwood species. The Unfinished surface keeps the hand-hewn texture exposed with adze and axe cuts, natural surface checks, and weathered contours. The Pine itself comes from structures built roughly 100–150 years ago, giving the wood a long, slow aging that you can see in every surface detail. The result is an authentic rustic character with a brighter, more versatile palette.

Because Pine is a lightweight softwood, these beams are significantly easier to handle and mount than hardwood alternatives. Our box beam construction replicates the look of solid reclaimed Pine while allowing beams to be created in any dimension. This makes them ideal for covering structural members, adding architectural detail, or introducing the warmth of reclaimed wood. See the quality standards E&K uses to fabricate all of our reclaimed wood box beams.

“It comes to me every day of my life that a home spirit is being awakened amongst us, that as a nation we are beginning to realize how important it is to have homes of our own, homes that we like, that we have been instrumental in building, that we will want to have belong to our children.” -Gustav Stickley

Hand Hewn Beams Detailed Specs

Hand Hewn beams carry the marks of real history. Each piece is reclaimed, authentic, and shaped by the original adze work that gives this surface its depth and character. Hand Hewn beams are available as either solid beams or constructed box beams. The lighter-weight box beams combine the beauty of the original hewn surface with the benefit of being cheaper to ship and install. Use box beams as a new architectural design element or to cover existing beams. E&K Hand Hewn Beams deliver the presence of true vintage timber while offering flexible sizing for any project.

  • Box Joinery: In an ideal situation, we take a single solid Hand Hewn beam that is the size of the box beam we are making. We resaw the face and two sides from the solid beam and reassemble these skins with a butt joint. This allows us to retain the same irregular edges found on the solid beams. If we cannot make the size needed from a single solid beam, we will use pieces from multiple beams and will miter them together.
  • Box Length Joint: Butt joint, Miter joint.

  • Source: Reclaimed beams taken from barns and other old structures.
  • Colors: Natural wood colors found on exterior patina. Custom staining options are available to complement your design. Reclaimed wood beams offer natural variation creating depth, warmth, and visual interest that makes every installation feel unique and authentic. Because of this natural variation, colors and stains will differ from beam to beam and may not be an exact match to samples.
  • Species: Oak, Mixed Hardwood, Pine.
