Antique Hand-Hewn Barn Timbers

Originally hand-hewn as a framing component of a barn, these timbers have since aged with nice patina and can be a spectacular anchor or addition to just about any design; the face will have abundant texture and character and the color will range from brown to gray and will show many signs of age such as weathering and checking. In addition to the natural aging, signs of the craftsmen who built these old barns is also evident, usually as a mortise pocket or other kind of joint carved with hand tools to fit the timbers together to support the structure without modern fasteners; in short each timber was carved with hand tools by a craftsman for a specific purpose and then aged for more than a hundred years in a barn.
