Additional Hand Carving

We can also provide additional carvings, such as crests, family emblems, or script. Prices for this service are subject to quotation.

Surface Finishes

Brushing - by which the grain of the wood is accentuated, making the product appear more textured. A supplementary charge of approximately 25% is added for this service.

Charring - by which the colour of the oak is randomly darkened to accentuate its character. A supplementary charge of approximately 15% is added for this service.

Bressumer Back

Some fireplaces benefit from the installation of beams with Bressumer Backs. This simple but traditional feature has a 45° throat with tapered ends, which encourages hot air and smoke from an open fire to travel up your chimney and not into your room. A supplementary 30% is added for this service.

The rear face of the beam is cut away to encourage the flow of smoke up the chimney.
