What happens here

One of the retrieved old barn timbers is placed on a workbench. A worker uses a belt sander to begin removing the weathered, grayed outer layer of the wood. The goal is to clean and prepare the beams for their new use, exposing the natural wood while retaining some of the rustic character. This initial sanding makes the wood more aesthetically pleasing and ready for further finishing.

Goal: Prepare the old wooden beams by sanding off weathered surfaces.

Tools and materials

  • Belt Sander — Sanding the old wooden beams
