Experience the charm of history with this reclaimed wood fireplace mantel. This authentic piece comes from an 1800s log cabin timber, bringing a slice of the past into your home. The face showcases a mix of natural tree patterns and ax marks, telling the story of its creation. Its wavy depth adds character, while the surprisingly smooth top speaks to the skill of early craftsmen. The bottom reveals its age with square nail holes and unique textures. Made of black ash, this mantel boasts beautiful grain patterns and rich coloring. We’ve cut the back flat for easy mounting, making it perfect for your lake house or cabin. Add warmth and rustic elegance to your living space with this one-of-a-kind reclaimed wood fireplace mantel.

The original cabin was located near town of Annandale, Minnesota which is located about 50 miles northwest of Minneapolis. It was founded in 1888 and the town name is believed to have been inspired by Annan, Scotland. The log cabin was probably built about that same time in the late 1800s. In this area, sawmills were pretty common by about 1900. The town is adjacent to several nice, medium to large lakes. The last picture shows the house before dismantling.

The wood on this mantel is Black Ash. Black Ash and Red Elm tend to have a nice complimentary color to hickory which is gaining popularity for floors and cabinets these days.

This reclaimed wood fireplace mantel has been sanded and finished.
It is currently 6-6.5in tall x 9in or so deep x 103 (8ft-7in) inches long, we can cut it shorter at no additional charge.
Ends are currently NOT cut, with the expectation that we will re-size and finish as needed. We’ll take care of that for you.
This one weighs about 130lbs so we can ship via UPS for $175.

About the Tag: $1 Brings you a Tailor-Made-To-Order-Suit. A snappy suit in the latest, most stunning style — with 5 months to pay. It is kind of crazy to think that you could mail order a suit and mail in monthly payments. Nowadays, I hear that Target, Aldi, and Whole Foods won’t even take a personal check.

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.
