Brushing machines - Import export

The reclaimed beams are salvaged from old buildings dating back to the 1800’s. Before sorting, the beams are usually a mixture of old oak, pine, spruce and fir in square shape or hand hewn finish on all 4 sides.We offer large quantities of reclaimed beams that presents a variety of appearances ranging from a rough hand hewn surface to sawn or painted texture. Depending on the building we have demolished, the surface of the old beams will have some degree of character marks which result from nails and bolts we remove. These reclaimed beams usually have a gray or brown surface which can be brushed by our professional machines to result in a mellow brown patina while retaining the circular saw marks.

The reclaimed oak wagon sleepers is a wonderful and unique type of wood that can easily be used for custom furnitures, floorings and also for landscaping projects.It is amazing how well preserved these reclaimed wagon boards managed to stay, after they were continuously exposed under extreme circumstances. The old French freight wagon trains used back in the days were just open boxes, therefore the wagon boards which is actually the flooring of those wagons, have gained in time an atypically patina. We recover this old oak boards in a robust and rough appearance with the surface covered in dirt and plenty time worn marks. Once the boards are cleaned by high pressure washing machines and intense brushing we discover an unmatched, charming and noble texture that no other wood is able to provide.
