Douglas Fir Rough Sawn Mandeville Beams (BM105MAN)
Our Douglas Fir Rough Sawn Mandeville Box Beams bring a warmer character and texture that is distinct to these beams. The Rough Sawn surface is enhanced with wire brushing, emphasizing the striations of the Douglas Fir grain. Mandeville is for projects that value structure, rhythm, and texture.
Mandeville features warm honey, light amber, and soft copper-brown tones, with consistent vertical grain running end to end. Subtle saw marks, occasional mineral streaking, and natural color shifts remain, adding depth. The result is a vintage beam that feels warm and inviting, rather than rustic-heavy.
These beams perform especially well in modern farmhouse, mountain, and contemporary interiors where linear grain supports the architecture. Ceilings, beam wraps, pergolas, and truss systems are possible with this product. Mandeville pairs naturally with stone, plaster, steel, and lighter interior palettes, offering warmth without overpowering a space.
Mandeville is available in any size. This product is ideal for projects seeking Rough Sawn authenticity, strong vertical grain definition, and the warm, architectural character.

Rough Sawn Beams Detailed Specs
Rough Sawn beams carry the marks of their history. Crafted from authentic reclaimed wood, each beam tells a story. Sourced from older structures like barns, factories, and vintage buildings, they showcase an original patina and distinctive saw marks from their original milling. Left with their original face to highlight their natural beauty, the rough sawn boards have subtle variations in texture and tone. Compared to the Hand Hewn beams, our rough sawn beams are less rustic with a surface that allows for more consistant surface and stain finishes. The lighter-weight box beams combine the beauty of the original surface 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. E&K Rough Sawn Beams deliver the presence of true vintage timber while offering flexible customization for any project.
Box Joinery: In an ideal situation, we take a single solid Rough Sawn 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 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.
