It is great piece with the character and charm of  genuine reclaimed wood — a fusion of history and style that brings warmth to any home.

This particular mantel had a lot of rot. Although it was fine as-is, we filled the back with epoxy and sawdust. This filled up the void and created a more solid piece. Once mounted, nobody will ever see it again. But because of this, we reduced the price of this one from $750 to $650.

The dimensions of this reclaimed wood mantel are currently 7.5 inches tall x 7.25 inches deep x 65.5 inches long. We can cut this mantel shorter and refinish the ends for an additional for no additional cost. (however, in this case, we might need to be aware of how that back might affect the end).

This unique reclaimed wood fireplace mantel, sourced from a distinctive batch of 1800s beams discovered in Red Wing, Minnesota which carries a rich history. While details about the original building are limited, Red Wing, being one of Minnesota’s earliest cities, thrived in sawmill activity during that era. This suggests that this particular piece was likely crafted by hand, predating the widespread availability of sawmill lumber. Its potential age is probably older than most of our other hand-hewn wood — dating back to the mid-1800s rather than the late 1800s.

It can be shipped anywhere in the lower 48 states via FedEx Gnd for $150
