Oak Beams

.

The project needed some old oak beams, we used some oak that was about 15 years old and cut it size before distressing the beams to look antique to match the 15th century barn. The technical term we came up for this was 'scuzzing'. We hacked at it with a power plane, cut mortices, angle grinded and basically hit it with anything we could to damage it. Kind of anti-carpentry.
