This is one of our curly maple mantels one of our clients mounted above their
fireplace. We plane curly maple 90% to leave a few saw marks and rustic edges. This allows the true beauty of the curly quilted
grain to really pop out. Adding three coats of polyurethane adds some real depth to this particular wood. We made corbels and provided mounting bolts so this was a real easy install for the average
person.

A unique distressed pine mantel beam. We like the pine for mantels
because they are light weight for installation and generally have a more aged worn character with more dings and dents
because of the softer wood.

One of our clients sent us this picture of an elm mantel piece they
purchased from us. We like all the nail holes facing out and the color goes good with the floor.
|
Simple but elegant design by one of our clients. Using our 4"x10"
pine barn wood we cut corbels and notched out for a 2"x6" backer board that the corbels could be premounted to.
Then the 2"x6" could be bolted to the wall behind the mantel piece where ever a stud was. Slide the mantel
on and fasted with a few nails through the top and wahlah! A well supported mantel with no bolts showing.

Beautiful corner fireplace
mantel built by one of our customers. The comment he left was: "We did all the work ourselves and are really proud of the results and how the new mantel
brings it all together.. I believe you told me the barn was from the early 1900s and if that holds true after counting the
rings on the mantel from the CORE!!! We estimate the mantel being between 200 and 235 years old!!!" |
End of the mantel by our customer where they were able to add a plug for those Christmas lights!

Look at this beautiful mantel placed right before Christmas time. With a glowing fireplace this piece fits right
in adding such nice character to the wall.

Who doesn't want an ourdoor patio fireplace "beaming" with wilderness?! This mantel supported by brick corbels
