Product Description

This little fireplace mantel beam has lots of very nice character. The texture on the entire piece is very nice — not overly smooth and not overly rough. The face has some quartersawn character, old saw marks as well as some dark streaking. The top is a tad darker with a line of nail holes and some checking. The bottom has the most character of all — deeper texture, dark nail holes and stains, as well as quarter sawing. It is gorgeous.

NOTE: There is a shadow cast on the right side of the picture. The color is actually very consistent throughout.

This beam came from a small barn near Afton, Minnesota. We get our raw beams from a number of sources. On occasion, we run into some rather unusual characters who supply wood to us. In this case, the beam came from a crazy couple of guys who didn’t have quite the right equipment for barn dismantling. So, they used what they had on hand… a mini-van. They literally yanked the barn down with their mini-van. Probably not the best method, but rather amusing. Sometimes you just shake your head and sigh.

We can cut this mantel down in length. Because it is already discounted, we can only discount by up to $50. It’s actually a great deal for someone looking for a 6ft plus mantel.

However, our website here only contains a small number of all of the mantels that we have in stock.
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.

Please contact us for a full list and personal recommendations. We’re happy to chat and find a great piece for you.

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.
