Characteristics

• Wide range of characteristics depending on source and other factors
• Weathered surface (degree of weathering varies)
• Original timber surfacing is generally rough-sawn
• Timbers usually have pockets and notches from the original joinery of the structure from which the timber was salvaged
• Some surface degradation is common
• Coloration varies; common colors include browns, grays and combinations of browns and grays. Some Trailblazer Oak Weathered Timbers have remnants of old paint. The old paint is probably lead-based paint.
• Mixed Red and White Oak

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.
• Sizes in square dimensions are standard (6x6, 7x7, 8x8, 9x9, etc.)
• 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.
