The trusses featured here are made of 100+ year old antique heart pine. The beams for these
trusses were milled to 7.5″ X 11″ and planed by us from 11″ X 17″ Antique Heart Pine beams that were originally 25′ long and taken from a Cotton Mill in South Carolina. We worked with the contractor
and home owner to make trusses designed by the architect for this trophy room. We sourced the beams, denailed them and resawed them to size and planed them.
Then, we cut them to length and mortised and tenoned them together, finally dowel pinning the joints. We then  transported them to the site and oversaw the installation of the trusses.

The trusses are 21’in length and feature hip beams at each end which come together with a compound mitered joint at each end.

These beams were filled in between with pecky cypress Tongue and Groove paneling.

The whole truss structure was assembled at the shop before transporting to the job site, insuring a good fit before the beams ever left the ground.

These beams are an integral part of a trophy room designed to provide a suitable visual setting for the displaying of mounts on the walls beneath the exposed beams. (Of
course, as far as we are conerned, these 100 year old beams are trophies themselves!)

Species of beams we work with for truss projects include: 100+ year old antique heart pine beams, White Oak Beams, Southern Yellow Pine, Cypress, and Eastern Red Cedar.

Another Truss
Project:

TRUSS COMPONENTS

We can also do truss components, as shown in the photo to the right. We cut the beams and truss cross members to the contractor’s specifications for this natural Eastern
Red Cedar exposed truss for this front entrance to a home in Columbus, MS. We band-sawed these truss components, including the corbels and the contractor installed them on-site.

We sourced the cedar for this project from a local landowner, cut the logs to length, and milled them to the 10″X10″ beams and the smaller truss components and
corbels. We were able to select the best logs for this project by going right to the logs in the field. Finding Eastern Red Cedar logs of this size and quality is not easy to do in this area..

CORBELS

Corbels enhance structural beams by adding stability to the project as well as adding an archetectural
flair.

The corbels for this project were band-sawn on our unique beam sawing system, producing a smooth sawn finish in big timber.

Species available
for Corbels:

• Antique Heart
  Pine
• White Oak
• Red Oak
• Cypress
• Eastern Red Cedar.
• Southern Yellow
  Pine
• Treated Southern
  Yellow Pine

Note: Some species
will tend to split more than others, such as white and red oak. Others
are more suited for outdoor applications.

We can use your design to make your corbels or provide a pattern such as the one shown. We can use your wood, or source the type of wood you need for your project.
