Softened Hewn Pine Box Beams
Softened hewn pine box beam with faded adze marks and a time-worn texture

Hand-tooled character, eased to a time-worn finish.
The middle ground between our hand-hewn and weathered lines. Each beam starts with traditional hewing — adze and axe marks, gouges, deliberate dents — then the surface is sanded and wire-brushed to fade those marks into a softer, aged look. Visible craftsmanship, without the raw edge.
This is 100% real pine, built as a hollow box from solid boards and mitered at the corners, milled to your dimensions in our Comstock Park, Michigan shop. Delivered across West Michigan and beyond by freight or local drop-off.
Finish options
Urban Sandstone — a light, sandy neutral that lets the grain read through.
Saddle — a warm mid-brown with the grain showing.
Slate — a weathered, desaturated grey.
Deep Timber — a deep, near-black brown with high contrast.

Solid beam or box beam?
A box beam is built from solid boards into a hollow form with mitered corners. You get the full look and proportion of a solid timber at a fraction of the weight, which makes it far easier to handle and install.
Are these structural?
No. Our box beams are decorative and non-load-bearing. They wrap existing framing, posts, or structural members to get the look of solid timber without added construction.
How do they install?
Each beam slides over wood cleats or blocking fastened to your ceiling or wall. Because the beam is hollow, it suits remodels and retrofits with minimal structural work.
Where are they made?
Every beam is built to order in our Comstock Park shop in West Michigan.
Lead times
Most orders ship within 4–6 weeks after final color approval. Finish samples ship within 2 business days.
Shipping & returns
Full-size beams are too long for standard parcel carriers and ship by freight or local West Michigan delivery. Because each order is cut and finished to spec, custom orders are final sale.
Full-size box beams are not sold for direct online checkout — they are too long for standard parcel shipping. Order a physical sample to review the finish in your space, then request a custom quote sized to your project and delivery location.
