Made right here in the USA. The Olde Mill box beams are a versatile choice in any application that does not call for a structural placement of solid wood or in any application where there is a need to conceal conventional framing. We start our process by acquiring locally salvaged solid Longleaf Pine Beams. We remill the beams into 1/4" thick veneers. At this point, the wood is returned back to its raw state. The veneer is then laminated to a plywood substrate. Next, we straighten & shape them into a miter profile. Then we hand clamp the beams together with quality waterproof wood glue. And lastly we reshape & texture the beams by hand. Beam Sizes (THE SKY IS THE LIMIT, LITERALLY) Our beams come in many sizes as well as custom sizes. Because of their light weight it is easy to install much longer beams than normal. We are able to produce beams larger than 22'-0", but lengths at those extremes may have a splice.
