Thanks to a great customer for sending this picture in from here in Fenton Michigan of this installed rare reclaimed 6×8 circle sawn pine mantel barn beam we supplied. Got to love it!
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.
Our good friends at Bedrock Builders Inc out of Noblesville Indiana installed this beautiful piece of antique hand hewn elm we got from a barn in Freeland Michigan. The customers were so pleased they sent us this picture of this after their handy work.
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.

Another nice mantel piece with corbel beams that go clean through the fireplace to support mantels on both sides.
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!!!”
Another gorgeous mantel made from reclaimed barnwood!
Who doesn’t want an ourdoor patio fireplace “beaming” with wilderness?!
This mantel supported by brick corbels adds a great rustic touch.

A wonderful customer sent us this photo from Emporia Virginia of one of our beautifully aged reclaimed hand hewn white oak barn beam mantel installed that we shipped them. Wow! As authentic as they get.
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.
Check out all this beautiful hand hewn pine mantel these clients used to commemorate their fathers memory. We sure appreciate what we do being a part of people lives and homes. thank you.
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.
Mantel with corbels made from an 1880’s reclaimed sycamore barn bean. The mantel has a natural finish with original nail holes, circle sawn marks and distressing. (Dimensions: 7’ wide by 6” deep by 3 1/2” thick)
Real nice mantel on flat stone sent in by Jenny Mangin.
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.
Big-O white oak mantel almost installed here but you get the idea how cool this is going to look. Imagine something like this in your house. Or better come and get one for yourself so you don’t have to just dream about it.
Another happy customer.
“Thank you for our mantle! We are in love.”
Another beautifully distressed old growth antique barn beam mantel supplied by us. Installed by Roger Jones from Custom Carpentry Services. We had to get one big enough for him to cut a gentle curve on the back side to follow the stone work. Finding a nice one with no pockets this big is pretty rare but that is what we deal in.
A glorious mantel piece. This is as good as they get. The right dimensions of 6″x8.5″. Straight and beautifully hewn with a smooth hewn top and rustic hewn bottom and face. Straight and light weight. A wonderful antique patina. Just the right amount of distressed character. Magazine worthy pieces of this desirability are rare and we recognize and search for them. Perfectly installed by our highly referred friend William Lee at Vintage Woodworkz Reclaimed Barnwood Furniture, Counters, Mantels.
We shipped this glorious 8×8 hand hewn elm mantel down to prominent Plano Texas. I actually lived there for a while. Anyhow I think the install came out great and looks rustic modern, or chic, or whatever the kids are calling it today it is certainly in style.
