Rough Sawn, Reclaimed American Solid Oak Beams

Our Rough Sawn Reclaimed Barn Wood Beams offer the perfect balance between rustic character and architectural precision. Salvaged from century-old American barns, these oak solid beams feature the distinctive marks of early circular sawmills—visible arc patterns and tactile surface variation that tell the story of 19th- and early 20th-century craftsmanship.

Unlike hand-hewn beams, which bear the irregularity of broad axes, rough sawn beams were milled with early mechanized circular saws. These primitive machines left behind subtle imperfections: irregular tooth marks, wobble trails, and faint chatter lines. To the trained eye, these details are design gold—visual indicators of authenticity that can’t be faked or fabricated.

The result is a beam that feels refined yet rooted in history. With their squared edges and more consistent dimensions, rough sawn beams suit both traditional farmhouses and more tailored, transitional interiors. They’re ideal for ceiling treatments, beam wraps, range hoods, and architectural cladding where you want vintage material without the heavy, rustic weight of a hand-hewn look.
