From £50 per cubic foot, plus VAT, unfinished air-dried oak beams are stable oak beams that are between 3 and 10 years old (average age 5 years; limited stock of 25 year old beams). These are machine-sawn and straight, the advantage of which is that they can be easily cut to suit precise dimensions and be profiled to clad RSJs. From £40 per cubic foot plus VAT, unfinished green oak is freshly sawn and is approximately one year old when sold.
