5 Striking Projects with Beautiful Hand Hewn Beams for Sale

Welcome back to another M.R. Timbers Featured Project Series! In today’s post, we’re highlighting one of our favorite reclaimed wood features: box beams. Reclaimed wood box beams have a unique ability to transform a space, adding warmth, architectural depth, and dramatic visual interest. For homeowners and designers searching for hand hewn beams for sale, box beams offer an ideal way to achieve the look of solid timbers without the structural challenges that often come with them.

Reclaimed wood box beams bring instant character to a room. Whether installed in a living room, kitchen, great room, or bar area, they provide the timeless appeal of hand-hewn wood while remaining versatile enough to fit both modern and traditional homes. Many customers looking for hand hewn beams for sale are drawn to box beams because they offer the same rustic charm as solid beams, with far more flexibility in design and installation.

Because we are such big fans of box beams in homes, we thought it would be appropriate to highlight them in our featured projects series. Here are just a few of our favorite projects that used Manomin Resawn Timbers box beams.

Our first project is from a home created by Great Neighborhood Homes, a home builder located in Edina, and features our weathered antique beams. This project beautifully blends mid-century modern design with reclaimed wood elements. For homeowners searching for hand hewn beams for sale, this space shows how box beams can enhance a modern aesthetic without overpowering it. We especially love the contrast between the reclaimed beams and the surrounding wood paneling at the fireplace, which adds depth and visual interest to the room.

 

This next room is from a home constructed by Michels Homes, located in North Oaks, MN. This home also features our Weathered Antique boards and highlights how box beams can be customized to fit unique architectural conditions. The angled walls that transition into the ceiling created the perfect opportunity to install box beams that enhance the structure rather than compete with it. This is a great example for anyone exploring hand hewn beams for sale and wondering how reclaimed wood can adapt to unconventional layouts.

 

Talk about versatility - during this project, we had to skin these timbers and then put them back together because the roof structure couldn't handle the full load of the timber. That's the beauty of working with wood in your home, though. When dimensions and weights are off, it's usually a quick fix. This is also a great illustration of the grandiose nature of these box beams when placed in a home, despite being simple in nature.

 

Our platinum boards work great for modern, open spaces like this. Their light tones help them seamlessly blend into any room. The box beams in this home help create a sense of warmth and calmness (it also helps that the weather looks gorgeous outside).

 

A bar complete with liquor, a wooden pool table, and rustic box beams. Talk about classy; this is another building that puts to use the beauty of our platinum boards.
