Excellent job. Shows the benefit of using a pre-stain before the dye. No blotching etc. Another tip is that if there is a large knot at the edge of a plank which is mitered to one without a knot you can "draw" on a knot with a fine paintbrush onto the plank with a darker dye to make it look like the knot goes "around" the edge and makes it look even more like a solid beam.

Great video and good job. Nice to see a realistic diy. Miter saw on a plastic table, table saw on the floor, cheap wood lol.. vs “diy” in a custom woodworking shop with every tool imaginable. Hewing axe and a chain works good too but the grinder is a great idea I’m definitely going to try it. If anyones wondering, I use the chain to hit the wood. Adds dimples and texture that really make it appear hand hewn. I’ve also drove some nails in a short piece of 2x4, hitting the wood in various spots. When stained the holes are slightly darker and adds a wormwood effect.

I would also use a torch to burn the wood and bring out the grain! These turned out awesome

Man, this is excellent, looks so much like the real thing. I am gonna try this. I think before I stain it I'm gonna burn it.

wait a sec, how did you cover up those cracks where the beams meet to make it look like one continuous log?

Unfortunately I uploaded this video before I fully finished the beam because I made two 6” wide metal brackets and slide them over the joints to make it look like a connection/supportive feature and spray painted them black.

Better - use an actual axe or hatchet. Hold it at a low angle, and then “back cut” to remove any unwanted chunks.

Total cost was approximately $150 for all the lumber, stain and the poly. Much much cheaper than buying plastic faux beams

When you install it in three pieces it hardly looks like 'a Beam'. I might add that there are many ways to distress a Beam that don't include leaving heavy Chisel marks.

“The beam” joints were covered with 6” wide steel straps. There are many ways to distress a beam I agree. In order to get the look the client was looking for, this was my way 👍
