The "L" Beam Collection
The " L " Beam
Every piece of furniture from our “L Beam Collection” comes from reclaimed heartpine. This heartpine was harvested from first generation long leaf pines which were growing when the first settlers landed in North Carolina as early as the 1600s. Also known as a “hog trough” beam, L Beams provided the essential framework for the first homes in Colonial America. Evidence of early joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon and peg holes can be seen in each piece as well as the original saw and hand-hewn axe marks along with hand forged nails. Each of the pieces within our “L Beam Collection” reflects the dark colored, decay resistant strength of heartpine. Their unique color is attributable to the high resin content within this wood--which also kept the pieces insect and rot resistant. The tight growth rings (as many as 30/inch) provide proof of their early history and desirability as a building material. We are proud and honored to offer these heirloom creations from America’s earliest structures.
( Very little left in this rare collection.)
