Our oak beams are made from oak that has been aired dried for two years or more. This aids in stability of the timber as the major moisture reduction in the piece has already happpened.
Perfect as a weathered stable post.
They will have splits or wind shakes on the face from the air drying process. There can also be large splits that go to the heart of the piece or knots that can be quite large, but they will not effect the structural integrity of the oak.
The sawn oak lintel is a grey colour and planed is a dark golden colour.
Left long for you to do the final cut.
It is a natural product and so can change.
Air dried oak dries naturally outside. This means it can crack and twist, which creates a unique feature and is not considered a fault. In line with grading rules the timber can be up to 10mm out of straight over a 2m length, although we always try to keep this to a minimum.
