We want to have beams in our living space but need 18' wood but can only find 16' beams. just wondering how the seam will look if we use two beams with the seam in the middle.
Yes you are seeing a seam, this is because we installed 1/2" oak plywood on top of the existing structural beam that wasn't attractive. Many different species of wood are available in a plywood format. They also make straps that cover seams at connections that give it a more rustic look. We wanted the beam to look as close to the oak floor as possible and stained it to match. You can clad the beams with regular 2X material also and it will have more grain options. The plywood is very affordable and looks authentic. .. Thanks for asking... Steve
