Hello. Does anyone know where I could get some old pine beams. Pitch or heart pine is what I'm looking for. Thanks

You could get a sawmill to cut beams for you, roughen them up as per the previous post to age them ,then give them a coat of potassium permanganate solution which will give them a deep reddish brown colour and a coat of wax to leave a patina similar to old beams

All the chainstores carry Southern Yellow Pine. You could laminate some 3" planks to your finished dimension and stain as required. All you need is glue and lots of clamps ?
