A staircase lives two lives. One as an architectural feature, and another as a functional piece of the home. This transitional design handles both with ease. Natural white oak treads flow from the hardwood floors below, making the staircase feel fundamental to the home rather than inserted into it. White painted risers and pin balusters keep the composition light and open, letting natural light move freely through the space. The glossy black handrail and newels add an edge to the design, creating definition against the white paint and warm oak elements. Tying it together, the over-the-post balustrade creates a flowing line that draws the eye up. A staircase that doesn't demand attention, but rewards those who pause to notice it. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

Two substantial Antique White Oak box beam posts and a matching header beam frame the entry into this bright modern living room, their warm honey tones and subtle gray patina creating a natural architectural portal that gives the open concept floor plan definition, warmth, and character. Viewed from the dining room, the beams draw the eye straight through to the living room and the wall of windows beyond, making the whole space feel intentional and connected. The clean, light tones of the White Oak complement the white walls and neutral palette perfectly without competing with them. Sourced from 19th century structures and prepared through our process of denailing, kiln drying, and precision milling, these antique timbers bring genuine old growth character to any architectural application. Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner looking to use Antique White Oak box beam posts and headers to frame a room entry, Manomin Resawn Timbers has been helping people discover the antique charm of reclaimed wood since 2002. We ship nationwide and are happy to help you find the right pieces from anywhere in the country. Visit our showroom in Hugo, MN or reach out to us with a call or a message to get started.
