 When the old barn builders needed and extra long span of wood (something more than 20 feet), they would often join two pieces of wood together with angled cuts and sometimes some iron work to create a scarf joint. When we can, we cut out these sections for re-use as mantel pieces. They're very interesting Photos and raw wood never do the finished product any justice. It seems to take a lot of imagination to picture what this would look like completed. If we get a little time, we'll clean this one up on speculation. For this one, I'd take out the bolts and re-run them so that they both go the same direction. Amazingly enough, the nuts will probably still spin off with a pipe wrench. When the joint is put back together, it will be tighter and better looking On the 6th picture you can see a sample of the very same beam that was sanded with 1 coat of tung oil. That is natural color! A good white oak, in the right environment will develop a deep patina like this. You can see the depth of color on the edges of the wood in the 7th piture. We work this one a bit and it will be stunning. It's cut at 7'. It could go smaller.
