Reclaimed & Hand Hewn WHITE OAK Beams

Reclaimed & Hand Hewn White Oak Timbers...hard to come by and even harder to work with...
These antique timbers are ready for cutting...traditional joinery of course. Mortises are punched with a mortising machine, pockets up to 2" deep are cut with a router. Dovetails and tenons are cut with saws and chisels, ready Mike? Ready Kellin?
The 1st step in cutting a timber frame is the layout of the joints...Tom has been in charge of the Davis phase II layout. Thank you Tom, we know it's hasn't been easy!
