Box Beam
At 1st Choice Millworks, we specialize in handcrafted false beams that deliver the rich, authentic look of solid timber—without the weight, installation challenges, or stability issues of full-thickness beams. Built with precision using lock miter joinery, our beams are textured, finished, and detailed by hand to achieve a truly custom appearance. Ideal for wrapping structural elements or creating design accents, our false beams are fully customizable in size, texture, and finish to fit the unique vision of your project. Whether you’re aiming for rustic charm or modern elegance, we craft each beam to blend beauty, performance, and lasting quality.
One of the main challenges with a lock miter is achieving a tight seam. If too much glue is applied, it can prevent the joint from fully closing, resulting in a visible gap along the seam. To avoid this, it’s essential to apply glue sparingly and ensure even coverage. Proper glue application and precise assembly are key to achieving a clean, professional finish with lock miter joints.
