Support beams are a Manufactured item in TFCraft. The are used support the ceilings of mines to prevent cave-in's, though they can also be used for decoration.

Crafting

Both logs must be the same type, but any log in TFCraft can be used. Different types of wood will result in different types of beams, but this difference is purely cosmetic as they are work equally the same. Beams of different types of woods can attach to one another.
