cstmg8 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Looking for a large beam (8x8+) to turn into a mantle. Looking for something like Douglas fir or anything else in the lighter woods without breaking the bank. Needs to be at least 9'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Btw, Menard's can get 8x8 Douglas fir, but not until 5/22! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrntd Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 There are a couple of reclaimed lumber places around Columbus. Here is one http://www.ohiovalleyreclaimedwood.com/ Also I have a client that uses these guys and says their prices are great. http://pioneermillworks.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Gen Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I have a couple old cedar ceiling beams I pulled down when I bought my current place (15 years ago). I think I have two or three left and they were 4 x 6 (8 - 10) feet. Let me look this evening and let you know.. Looks like this (Sort of) Let me know if Cehttp://www.loghomeresources.com/lumber/cedarroughcut1.jpgdar is what you are looking for.. Too funny now as these are popular (Darn I am old) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hoping for bigger than 6", but not ruling anything out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
