Mantel Collections
Bring rustic warmth into your living room by updating your home decor with a reclaimed wood mantel that’s many years old. The naturally aged patina and features such as nail holes, knots and pest damage add one-of-a-kind characteristics that are unique to each piece. We create handcrafted rustic wood fireplace mantels from a wide variety of reclaimed wood material choices, including any of our barn wood beams as well as box beams. Hand hewn fireplace mantels provide a look of character in your living space that cannot be replicated. These old barn beams were created by hand using a broad axe and retain the old wood charm embedded by the artisans who created them. Rough sawn beams provide a more refined mantel inherent with the circular saw marks created when the old wood beams were originally milled over a century ago. Faux wood box beams are an excellent choice when weight is an issue in creating the floating mantel of your dreams. A reclaimed fireplace mantel adds a warm touch to the heart of every home.

Features that are prominent in reclaimed materials, such as mortise pockets, natural checking, weathered grain, saw marks and nail holes, ensure each barn beam mantel is a unique piece. All mantels are surface washed and kiln dried. Our rough sawn mantels are available in a variety of lengths and customizations.

After I order my reclaimed fireplace mantel, how long does it take to ship?
We are typically able to ship all mantel and wood shelf orders within 3 business days, however, there are occasions such as holidays when it may take a few extra days.
Will my mantel be the exact dimension ordered?
While we do our best to source and achieve the true dimension all of our timber mantels are reclaimed from old structures and can have up to a 1″ variance in thickness and depth, this can be due to shrinkage over time or how the barn wood material was crafted years ago.
How wide should a fireplace mantel be?
There is not an exact standard for this measurement and we will custom cut each mantel to the exact size requested. It’s common for the wood beam to either run the full width of the stone or brick face or leave 4″-6″ on both sides.
How are fireplace mantels attached?
We recommend hiring an experienced contractor to properly install the beam fireplace mantel. There are several methods and most include lag bolts designed to be used with masonry for stone installations or lag bolts that will go directly into wall studs.
What color will my mantel be?
We offer the barn beam mantel in its rustic, unfinished aged brown tone or we can finish the mantel in one of our shades of tinted wax that range from light to dark.
Is there a range of texture on reclaimed fireplace mantels?
The texture on our rough sawn reclaimed mantels ranges from original rustic to original planed smooth and can often be a mixture. Majority of the edges will have visible nail holes from the original use. Hand hewn mantels texture can range from heavy to light hewing as this process was done by hand and dependent on the craftsman who originally made the beam over a century ago.
How will my mantel be shipped?
We ship all of our mantel and shelf orders either via ground freight or common carriers (all lengths over 9′ or weights over 145 lbs).
