View store information

The hammer beam is the showpiece truss. Instead of one long tie beam crossing the room, short hammer beams project from the walls and carry the frame on brackets and posts — leaving the center completely open. It's the design from old English halls and cathedrals, and nothing else opens a room up like it.

A design this open lives or dies on its joinery, and ours is the real thing: true mortise-and-tenon joints, cut and fitted by hand — no metal brackets, no bolts. This is how hammer beams have been built for hundreds of years, and it's our bread and butter.

We build them in Louisville from Douglas fir timbers we sawmill ourselves. Timbers start at 8 inches wide, with beam height sized to the span, and you choose span and pitch — 4/12 up to 12/12. Wider spans than the picker shows are possible; they just need engineering, which we can talk through.

Hammer beams belong in great rooms, lodges, churches, and event barns — big spaces where the frame is the architecture.

Slab Finishing Services

Have you slab built into a finished product by our skilled craftsmen. Following is the steps we take to build each slab project.

1. Surface plane the slabs to assure they're perfectlly flat.

2. Remove and bark and debris from all of the edges and micro cracks.

3. Stabilize all of the cracks and voids. We use several different methods and products, but mostly use epoxy products. All the voids, cracks and deteriorated wood will be completely stabilzed to assure a solid slab.

4. Final sand all of the sides of the wood up to 180-320 grit. Depending on the species and what finish being used will determind how high we sand up to.

5. Finish application. We use two different finishes. We apply two coats of our Rustic Lumber Furniture oil. After it cures we then apply ceramic coating. Our other finish option is spraying three coats of urethane finish.

6. Mount the base. We install the base with threaded inserts. This allows easy removal of the base from the slab.

New timbers for Colorado

I had the pleasure to work with Zack from Rustic Lumber. We had a complicated project that required some specialty logs to use in Colorado as nobody could get them for me in the state. Zack and his team assisted us and were able to get us what we needed and delivered the logs to us. Highly recommend working with them!

Jatoba FTW!

Randomly picked Jatoba for cutting/charcuterie boards and I gotta say they're a great species. Tight hard wood grains with a great feel and rich colors turn into some amazing boards and love em. The variety chosen by the team to ship out was super. On a second purchase I got a another species mixed in with the jatoba , no big deal but yikes if it was one.
Also the websites pictures of the specific species is off and you can't tell which is which unfortunately (which is why I randomly chose jatoba). If it's just on my end forgive me. I'll order again regardless. Shipping was relatively quick. Good customer service as well. Yes I
