Sourced from dismantled barns throughout New England and the Midwest, Altruwood’s Hand-Hewn Beams have the texture and marks of hand cuts. The timbers come in a range of nominal square and rectangular profiles typically between 6x6 and 14x14, and in lengths between 6' and 26'. Custom sizes may be requested. Hardwoods (sample shown), which are generally darker brown, and softwoods, which are lighter brown, are available; they may be power washed (top half) to showcase their color or left in their original patina (bottom half). The wood may also be borate treated for insects. • altruwood.com
