Decorative Timber Beams...Always a GOOD Idea.

Adding timber beams to your home? How about reclaimed white oak for the most rustic feel. At Vermont Timber Works we are able to source reclaimed, recycled and standing dead timbers from across the country. Be ready to pay more and wait longer though for the reclaimed.


I have fallen in love with our hand hewn white oak. This sample was hewn by our very own TODD, great job.

If you were to ask me which beams add elegance with a rustic feel, I would recommend Vermont Timber Works hand hewn white oak.


Need an Arched Timber Beam? How about our Douglas Fir Glulams? Smooth finish and gentle arch, just gorgeous. Adding top chords and an arch like this would create a simple but elegant look. Of course, that would not hold the roof up!


Rough Sawn Native Hemlock beams, rustic and light in color. Wonderful choice for a rustic timber frame look. Posts in the corners and ceiling beams, maybe a few braces. It will look like a full timber frame!


Douglas Fir Timber Beams...If you would like more of a formal, finished look, here you go. Beautiful douglas fir with a clear sealer so the natural color comes through. Douglas Fir deepens in color over time, becoming even more beautiful. Penofin Marine Oil is a nice option for a hand rubbed finish.
