SAY WHAT?

Terms we use, that you should know.

Checks - the natural occuring cracks as the wood ages and drys over time.
Mortise - a rectangular cavity that has been chiseled into a beam to receive a tenon. Used in mortise and tenon joinery.
Tenon - the projecting end of a beam for inserting into a mortise to make a joint.
Peg - a wood dowel used to fasten the mortise and tenon joint together.
Hand-hewn - the original process used to convert a tree into a beam using a hand axe.
Sanding Sealer - a primer for varnish which is used on unfinished beams.
Vinyl sealer - can be varnished over. It protects the wood and helps keep the wood stable. Sealing the beam gives it a smoothersurface, brings out the color and makes it easier to clean.
