Product Description

This rustic mantel has lots of character on it. It has a hand hewn face bordered by lighter curves where rotten sapwood was removed. The face is accented with lots of blackened nail holes and a round peg. The top has a filled mortise pocket and a nice curve toward the back. The bottom side has 2 filled mortise pockets and a large crack. The crack is stable but we drove a bolt through the mantel to prevent any more changes.

This old beam came from a old barn near SW Wisconsin. It dates back to the late 1800s when that area was being settled.

We can cut this beam down and reduce the price — less $10/in, up to $115.

We are literally a mom-and-pop shop that does lots of custom work. We often just don’t quite find enough time to update this website regularly.
We have nearly 150 finished mantels and another 500 or so unfinished pieces in stock at any time that can be viewed with other links.

We also do lots of custom work. If we understand what you are seeking, we can find and create that magic piece.

Mantels with Metal

We work with a great local blacksmith to add metal straps and other ornamentation to our mantels. He is the real deal — coal forged and hand hammered. The metalwork has great color and tight fit. Nothing machined. We can start with a finished mantel you find on our site, or we can start with raw stock for more options.

Here are a few examples of the hundreds that we have crafted over the years. We can work together to create something unique. You can also browse our Mantels with Metalwork page.

Installation

In most cases, no special and expensive brackets are required — just some lag screws. The different approaches outlined are very strong, simple, and economical. Take a look at our mantel installation tips.
