It doesn't get any more genuine than this; these timbers have the real texture, weathering and character marks from the wood's previous use; textures will range from very rough circle-saw marks to an originally smooth face; the patina and color will range from gray to brown; and, of course, there is a great back story for many of these timbers; most of the time we can tell you where the timbers came from adding to the historic value of this wood.
