Hand-Hewn
Collection
It's all about the hew marks
The hallmark of our Hand-Hewn Collection is the unmistakable texture of hew marks—rich with rustic character and rooted in tradition. What began with massive, weathered antique timbers has evolved into a versatile collection that includes both authentic reclaimed pieces and thoughtfully engineered alternatives. Whether you're drawn to the raw history of antique wood or need a more flexible, scalable solution, Hand-Hewn products bring depth, warmth, and timeless charm to any space.

Hand-Hewn Timbers
We started with, and still have lots of, antique hand-hewn timbers with all four sides hewn and then weathered by time. Expect knots, notches, pockets, dimensional variation, metal, and plenty of personality. Most sizes lean square rather than rectangular.
We have since developed ways to create hand-hewn timbers (hand-applied hew marks, heat pressing, thermal kiln processing for rich brown tones, etc.) that provide lengths, dimensions, and/or a level of consistency that can be hard to find in reclaimed hand-hewn timbers. Many of our hand-hewn timber packages now include a mix of reclaimed and manufactured pieces, sometimes even combining both approaches in a single timber. We believe the result is increased consistency and flexibility, while maintaining the timeless, old-school hand-hewn look.
2" Hand-Hewn Skins
Cut from hand-hewn "sleepers" (timbers with two hewn faces and two rounded ones), these 2" thick skins are all about showcasing those historic tool marks. A popular option for rustic siding and other applications where you want the look without the weight.
Hand-Hewn Pressed NatureAged Cedar
Love the hewn texture, but not all the variation and unpredictability that comes with hand-hewn timbers and skins? Pressed Cedar captures the look of hew marks—applied to the weathered face of NatureAged Cedar Lumber through heat pressing—in a consistent, 1" thick board ideal for box beams and more.
Hand-Hewn Pressed Middles
Created from "sleeper middles"—the by-product of cutting Hand-Hewn Skins—this 2" thick lumber is heat-pressed with faux hew marks. A consistent, scalable alternative to our Hand-Hewn Skins with just the right amount of rugged charm.
