Nothing complements a fireplace better than a natural oak or elm beam. We can source and prepare beams for use as mantles, upstands, lintels, shelves or architectural features. From a rustic finish to a sleek modern dressed timber – tell us your ideas and we can make them happen! We also have a stock of ancient reclaimed oak beams which have been salvaged from derelict buildings throughout Scotland and England, such as churches, castles, stately homes and barns. Our reclaimed beams often have interesting features such as mortice joints or rose head nails, adding intrigue to the origins of the beam! Please find following examples of the types of beams we can supply; | Description |

| Off the Saw - As the name implies beams are supplied straight from the saw for finishing as desired by the customer. |

| Hand-Hewn Edge - Faces are planed & sanded and edges are dressed to a random wavy edge for a more informal look. |

| Natural Bark Face - One face of the beam is the outside of the tree, resulting in a wavy, knotty face. The bark can either be removed entirely or partly left on for a very natural unique piece. |
| Description |

| Gnarled & Knotty - One face of the beam is the outside of the tree with the majority of bark left on and can be characterised with large knot features & sometimes even branches. |
| Description |

| Reclaimed - We have a selection of reclaimed oak beams in a variety of thicknesses and up to lengths of 4m! These are treated and can be finished with beeswax, or to customer requirements. |
Why not team up our solid wood beams with a natural stone hearthstone - choose from our range of slates and flagstones and we can cut to size for a perfect fit!
