Mantles can be Ordered Mortise Free:
Some of our wood fireplace mantles are created form antique timbers from barns and rural structures. The buildings were constructed using a technique called Mortise and Tennon Joinery to create the structural frame of the building. The Mortise Pockets are unique to each beam and an eclectic part of their appearance. If you would like your fireplace mantel to be mortise free please let us know at the time you order.

Distressed Ends:
To further enhance though looks of your reclaimed wood mantle, consider adding our antique distressed ends. We have developed a unique process that will blend the color of the newly cut lumber with that of the original surface of the mantle. |

Wire Brushed Texture:
Wire brushing is a great way to add that special touch to any of our wood mantels. This added step will raise the grain, enhancing the rustic appearance of the mantel. |

Add Matching Corbels:
Giving the appearance of a structural support beam coming out from the wall below the mantel, this is the perfect way to give your mantel the feeling that it has been there forever.
Corbels will match the mantel ordered(rough sawn or hand hewn)
