Mantel Shelf Made From Reclaimed White Oak With Nice Streaks
This re-cut beam mantel shelf comes from an old barn near Green Isle, MN. We re-sawed this beam to reveal the inside wood. We did not cut it too far down — just enough to see the interior of the wood as well as some great streaks from age. This exact beam is not available, but we have others that are similar in a raw format. We can finish them up fairly quickly. We think, but have not confirmed that this is an old Pinske Barn. We know Pete Pinske, who was a 3rd generation barn builder. His grandfather started building barns in the late 1800s. The Pinke's were early pioneers of doing hip-roof barns. The hip-roof allowed the farmer to store more hay in the building. Pinske's were probably building the hip roof barns 20 years before they were popular. The Pinske's were also very good about selecting trees for lumber in the winter time. This gave them an advantage to build more barns in the summer time with better lumber. Pete recently helped build a house for his grand-nephew where they reclaimed wood from one of the original barns that Pete's grandfather built. They used material for cabinets an other decor. So the wood ended up traveling 5 generations. This mantel is 3.25in Tall x 8in Deep x 60in Long. This style of smaller mantels run $85/LF. For example, 5ft long * $85/LF = $425. We can ship via FedEx Gnd for $65

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
We are a small mom-and-pop shop that works hands-on to craft tables, mantels, and countertops. We feel so very fortunate to reclaim old wood from the fading American landscape and to create wonderful pieces that can last generations. It is indeed a blessing. We work together with exceptionally talented blacksmiths who add true, hand-hammered ironwork to some already fantastic, well-crafted reclaimed wood pieces.
Farm Tables
Our artistry comes alive when we create farm tables, harvest tables, trestle tables, and even industrial base tables. This old reclaimed wood lends itself wonderfully to truly touchable beauty. With our tables, you just can’t help but touch 'em and run your hand across 'em.
Wood Countertops
As a returning trend, wood countertops are great. With flowing edges, unique colors, and interesting textures, our reclaimed wood countertops are even better than modern solid wood countertops.
Fireplace Mantels
These beam mantels are the real thing – many with ax marks from American settlers in the 1800s. There’s no “distressing” in our shop; it’s all original. We sand and finish to make each beam a thing of beauty. Our blacksmith partners can add a wonderful variety of accents to each piece.

For Dark White Oak Mantel Beam With Flowing Grains5.0I seriously have nothing but praise for the whole experience! Kevin was great--very detailed email communication as we went through the selection process. The mantle was EXACTLY as promised, shipped quickly, and at a very fair price. I am so happy that we stumbled onto CustomMade and onto Kevin's shop in particular. Antique Woodworks is really awesome… I highly recommend them!

For Hand Hewn Mantel With Christmas Stocking Ironwork5.0This mantel is exactly what we were looking for: rustic, sturdy, well-made, and with a character all its own. The communication was excellent. The craftsman worked closely with us to determine measurements, color, and details. He provided pictures throughout the process of its construction progress (a great addition to our house construction album!). When it arrived and we saw it firsthand, it far exceeded our expectations. It's going to be the perfect complement to the fireplace in our game room.
