The Owner desired more sustainable and dimensionally stable wood than green timber, so we sourced Standing Dead Ponderosa Pine for the ceiling beams in this NC mountain home.

Reclaimed Wood Timber Frames
exposed reclaimed wood beams living room ceiling
The rectangular holes (mortises) visible in some of the beams in this Linville, NC mountain home tell a story: these particular weathered beams were reclaimed from an antique timber frame (the timbers were connected by pegged mortise and tenon joinery)–as opposed to a post and beam structure (bolted or nailed together).
