 Furniture-grade smooth wood box beams, when stained, provide a more refined look. They bring out the beauty of the natural grains and colors of the wood. When a uniform color is desired, smooth box beams typically meet that need.
For beams over 16 ft long, we use butt joint boards. We attempt to minimize the visibility of these butt joints by staggering the location of these joints along the three faces of the box beam. We also attempt to match the grain and coloration of the boards at the joint. To further stabilize the butt joint, we use bisquit joiners.
Note: Due to the irregularities in wood box beams, the inner dimentions of the box beams will vary. Please be careful when cutting through these beams. There could be nails and/or screws buried below the surface. Use caution! Barron Designs is not responsible for any bodily harm or damage to your equipment.
