FIG. C.PResidential & commercial — seating
Beam Benches
Single-beam benches with exposed hardware and visible end grain.
- Material
- Reclaimed beams
- Blackened steel hardware
One beam, cut and joined into a bench, with the hardware left showing on purpose.
Exposed bolts
Hiding the joinery on a piece made from a structural beam would be dishonest about what it is. The bolts are part of the design — spaced deliberately, blackened to match, and set so the head pattern is symmetrical across the seat.
End grain
The cut ends are finished rather than capped. On a beam that has been in service for a century, the end grain shows the growth rings, the checking, and often an old mortise — the clearest evidence of the beam’s previous life, so we leave it out where you can see it.
Entry benches, dining benches, and commercial waiting seating. Stock comes from barn beams and oak beams.
