Product Description

It just makes most sense to take a round tree and make a square beam. It is efficient for both labor and wood use. We do also get log cabin timbers that are rectangular, but they tend to be round on 2 sides, and hand hewn on 2 sides. On rare occasion, we find a rectangular beam that is hand hewn on 3 or more sides. This one one of those times. It actually did come from a log cabin, but was positioned such that they hewed 4 sides. The back has been cut flat to nicely fit against a wall.

This beam dates back to the late 1800s and was from a log cabin in SW Wisconsin.

This one is very close to the FedEx Shipping Limit. WE WILL NEED TO RE-WEIGH THIS ONE. THE SHIPPING IN THE CART MAY BE INACCURATE. IT MAY HAVE TO SHIP TRUCK FREIGHT FOR ABOUT $175.

You can shop some available mantel beams and thinner mantel shelves on this website. 

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.
