Wirebrushed Box Beams offer a range of rustic texture. Each beam is planed first, then wire brushed in-house using tools that allow for varying depths and surface expression. This process reveals grain structure and natural variation while maintaining a consistent, intentional finish.

The resulting character can range from subtle texture to a more pronounced, expressive grain that adds warmth and presence. Wirebrushed beams are offered in a variety of finishes. At E&K Vintage Wood, reclaimed timbers are reworked using proprietary methods to create box beams in any dimension, visually indistinguishable from solid beams, balancing historic material with a refined, modern surface.
