Rustic Natural - White Oak by Hewn

White Oak Box Beams

Hewn’s White Oak Box Beams are made from the same real White Oak that we use in our wood flooring products. Our beams provide all of the characteristics of a solid wood beam, at a fraction of the weight. We don’t use thin veneers or cast polyurethane substitutions. These beams are a real-wood product. 

All of our products are textured by hand, guaranteeing that no two pieces of wood will look identical. Every beam we craft is unique, and our inspiration is drawn from the wood itself. In addition to our standard color and texture options, we also offer custom finishes, unfinished/raw box beams, and paint-grade options.

Lengths & Widths

One piece White Oak box beam lengths are available from 4′ to 10′. For lengths longer than 10′, you can choose one of our joint options. All of our box beams are completely customizable to the specifications of your project. For White Oak, we offer standard widths from 3″ to 9″, and extended widths (requiring a glue-up) from 9½″ to 18″. We also offer custom color matching and custom color formulations to ensure that our product is perfect for your installations.

End Caps

Our optional end caps are offered in two variants: Standard Grain and End Grain. Our Standard Grain features the same texture and finish found on the face of our beams. Our End Grain features a real wood cross-section, with visible tree rings.

Straps & Joint Options

For White Oak beam lengths longer than 10′, you can choose one of our joint options shown below. We also offer solid metal beam straps, in both a smooth and hammered texture, to accompany your chosen joint option. All straps are made-to-order to your specific dimensions, and are individually shaped for every beam.

Beam joints are not grain-matched. They are not designed to be invisible to the eye. For orders longer than 10′ that desire a more seamless look, we also offer an Assembled Scarf option. This scarf option is grain-matched and staggered to best hide the joint seam. These longer beam sections are delivered in one piece.

An American Tradition

Oak has a rich history in American building and architecture, dating back to the early colonial period when it was widely used for shipbuilding, framing, and flooring due to its durability and strength. From iconic heritage structures to countless historic homes, oak’s enduring presence in American architecture continues to showcase its timeless appeal.

This proven track-record, combined with Hewn’s unique and proprietary finishes, results in a product that is unmatched and highly sought-after in the industry.
