E&K’s Oak Planed Spokane Beams offer a warm, clean look with strong natural grain. The planed surface is smooth and even. It highlights the structure of the White Oak without added texture.
The custom Spokane stain brings medium brown tones with subtle amber depth. The color sits evenly across the surface while still showing grain lines, knots, and natural variation. This gives each beam a balanced and natural appearance.
These beams fit both modern and traditional spaces. They work well for ceiling beams, wraps, and architectural details. We make each beam to order. They are available in custom sizes. Box beam construction offers lighter weight and longer spans.

Planed Beams Detailed Specs
Planed Beams offer a warm and refined look that fits perfectly into both modern and traditional designs. These beams are carefully milled to create a smooth surface, making them an excellent choice for projects that require a sophisticated aesthetic. While they have a contemporary feel, their reclaimed origins show through with a tighter grain, richer colors, and character marks of aged wood. Planed Beams have versatility; they can adapt to a variety of design styles, from minimalist, to contemporary to vintage.
Crafted from authentic reclaimed wood, each beam tells a story. Sourced from older structures like barns, factories, and vintage buildings, we mill the vintage wood to give them the smoothest surface. The box beams combine the beauty of the vintage grain with the benefit of being lighter weight to ship and install. Use box beams as a new architectural design element or to cover existing elements or beams.
Box Joinery: In an ideal situation, we take a single solid 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 miter joint. If we cannot make the size needed from a single solid beam, we will use pieces from multiple beams and will miter them together using our proprietary techniques that mean the finished beam will read as a solid beam.
Box Length Joint: Miter joint, Lock Miter joint.
Source: Reclaimed beams taken from barns and other old structures.
Colors: Natural wood colors. Custom staining options are available to complement your design. Planed reclaimed wood beams offer only slight natural variation so colors and stains will be more consistent from beam to beam.
