@swtimberworks: Take a look at this hand-hewn anchor beam from Ontario. The size gets your attention, but look closely at the corners and the accuracy of the work. Somebody shaped this timber by hand, and that took considerable skill. Those pockets along the side held the floor joists, each a good-sized timber itself. We’ve got the beam upside down here, so picture it turned over to understand how everything fit together. It’s a beautiful piece of work. Builders & homeowners, if you’re planning a project, give us a call! #reclaimedwood #craftmanship #texas #timber #fortworth
