About This Product

The Rustic Collection brings the timeless charm of log-and-timber craftsmanship into modern homes. Designed with today's technology but inspired by centuries-old techniques, our rustic wood millwork features all the natural beauty and character that make each piece one-of-a-kind. Since we don't kiln-dry the wood, every bracket, corbel, rafter tail, and more will showcase the unique qualities of the wood species- meaning no two pieces are the same. Expect variations in color, grain, texture, knots, sapwood, heartwood, and even natural checking or cracks. These imperfections aren't flaws- they're what make the Rustic Collection truly special, offering a genuine, earthy look that adds undeniable character to your home. Break free from cookie-cutter designs and embrace the individuality and warmth that only real, natural wood can offer.

Highlights

  • Proudly handcrafted from the finest North American woods, bringing old-world timber style into modern spaces.
  • Expect natural variations in color, grain, knots, sapwood, and even cracks- each piece is one of a kind.
  • Select the perfect texture to complement your style- smooth for a refined rustic look, or rough sawn for a more rugged, natural feel. Smooth will be 1/2" thinner than rough due to sanding process
  • Hefty, 33.1 lb./ft³ density makes it ideal for bearing loads
  • Dried slowly in open-air conditions, maintaining more of its natural character

Questions & Answers

How long after installation can I use white stain on the cedar and the fir? Which would take a white stain best? Which is more durable for outdoor use?
ByJul 22, 2024
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

It is recommended to paint or stain before installation, however if finishing after installation we would suggest simply waiting for any adhesive to dry. Both woods accept stains, though western red will be slightly darker in finish. As for outdoor use, western red cedar contains tannins which act as a natural deterrent to pests and insulate it against exterior conditions, while douglas fir is most commonly used for structural applications.

    Can these be used under soffit? I plan to stain but there will be exposure to weather.

    Answer This Question

    Yes, these can be used under a soffit. They are rated for interior/exterior use and can be painted or stained. Keep in mind that while they can withstand some exposure to the elements, applying a stain will help protect them further.

      Happy customer.
      I am very pleased from the start , ordering the Braces went smooth, Jonee Gomez was very good .The Braces came earlier than they had said they would. I am getting ready to install them tomorrow, if it doesn't rain. I do think that you should put the acclimating paper work up front, when ordering. When I received the Braces I opened them up right then, before I read about the acclimating. Then I packed them back up. So far I love the look of these Braces. Thank you. No pictures yet.

        Took a while to be delivered, probably should make sense since it’s kind of a custom order.
