Ekena Millwork BRC06X42X42WTL00SDF 5 1/2"W x 42"D x 42"H Westlake Smooth Knee Brace, Douglas Fir

The Rustic Collection brings the timeless charm of log-and-timber craftsmanship into modern homes. Designed with today's technology but inspired by centuries-old techniques, our rustic wood millwork features all the natural beauty and character that make each piece one-of-a-kind. Since we don't kiln-dry the wood, every bracket, corbel, rafter tail, and more will showcase the unique qualities of the wood species- meaning no two pieces are the same. Expect variations in color, grain, texture, knots, sapwood, heartwood, and even natural checking or cracks. These imperfections aren't flaws- they're what make the Rustic Collection truly special, offering a genuine, earthy look that adds undeniable character to your home. Break free from cookie-cutter designs and embrace the individuality and warmth that only real, natural wood can offer.
