Weathered Timbers - Product Info
Trestlewood's Weathered Timbers are the perfect answer for a project that needs the beauty of rustic timbers. Weathered Timbers are mixed species and will have a range of colors and characteristics that you would expect from timbers reclaimed from vintage structures. Weathered Timbers can be sorted for broadly defined characteristics (browns vs. grays or hardwoods vs. softwoods), but absolute consistency is neither desirable nor achievable with this product.
| Species | Mixed Species (often including Douglas Fir, various pine species, spruce, hemlock, poplar, sycamore, hickory, etc.) |
| Source | Various (buildings, trestles, other structures, falsework, etc.) |
| HC/FOHC | Primarily Heart Center (HC); usually moderately tight to very tight growth rings |
| Metal | Nails, bolts and other fasteners can be removed, cut flush or left as-is. Some metal can be broken off inside the beam. |
| Mortise Pockets/Notches/Holes | Mortise pockets and notches from the original joinery are common. Nail, bolt, peg and other fastener holes are allowed. The quantity and size of mortise pockets and holes can vary widely from timber to timber, with some timbers containing very few and others containing frequent mortise pockets, notches, peg holes and nail holes. Staining around nail and bolt holes is common. |
| Checking/Cracks | Timbers can have moderate butt and surface checking and cracks and minor end splitting |
| Moisture Content/Stability | Air-Dried |
| Surfacing | Weathered (degree of weathering varies); original timber surfacing ranges from smooth-planed to rough-sawn; surface degradation (water damage, surface rot or "punkiness") is common; weathered timber colors vary - common colors include brown (common for interior weathered timbers), grays (common for exterior weathered timbers) and combinations of browns and grays. |
| Weight | Approximately 3 pounds per board foot |
| Appearance Variation | Because reclaimed timbers often come from a variety of sources, timber characteristics can be expected to vary from piece to piece. Trestlewood believes that appearance variations (no two timbers exactly alike) are one of the selling points of this product line. |
| Dimensions | Trestlewood treats weathered timbers to 10" x 10" x 16' as "standard dimension" for pricing purposes. Larger and/or longer weathered timbers are also often available. Dimensions are often nominal. The more latitude the customer can provide in acceptable timber sizes, the better able Trestlewood is to meet the customer's timber needs in an economical and timely manner. |
