This is our "Summit" Mantel in Knotty Alder. We've been designing and manufacturing mantels and shelves for the past 68 years. In that time, (spanning 4 generations my son is now learning the trade) I can honestly say I've had the time of my life. I absolutely love the designing and creating aspect of what we do. My son however is more hands on and has talent you can see….see photo! 100% satisfaction guaranteed, your shelf will arrive in mint condition. If you need special sizing or want custom stain matching please shoot us a message. Thank you for taking a look we look forward to working with you! John

My grandfather began designing and building fireplace mantels and cabinetry around 1901. When I started school around 1962 (5 years old) I loved to go to "the shop" and help. Even though my contribution was more getting in the way than anything else, my father helped me feel like I was contributing to production by paying me $1 an hour. In 1962 that was a handsome wage even for a grown man and here I was getting paid to hang out with sawdust all over the floor (and myself)…talk about a young boys dream come true!
Since then we've developed a unique line of fireplace mantels and shelves unlike anything else I've seen. We take great pride in the design and quality of each piece we build.

For Fireplace Mantel Knotty Alder Classic Traditional Crown Mold And Corbels SummitJohn did a beautiful job on our custom mantels. We have a two sided brick fireplace and he was able to custom make two beautiful wood (painted black) mantels. The only negatives was this project was delayed and communication was difficult due to COVID pandemic. But in the end we were very happy with the results. Thank you John!

For Knotty Alder Fireplace Beam Mantel, Rustic, Distressed, Antique Bolts, Salvaged, TimberOh my goodness! We couldn't be happier with our Knotty Alder Mantle. It was exactly as I imagined and as advertised. John was so easy to work with, either by email or phone and always responded in a timely manner. The corbels with the antique bolts top everything off! Thanks so much for the beautiful work. Jim and Shirley Shotwell Ennis, Mt
