Rustic Mantel With Hand Hewn Character
This rustic mantel has lots of character on it. It has a hand hewn face bordered by lighter curves where rotten sapwood was removed. The face is accented with lots of blackened nail holes and a round peg. The top has a filled mortise pocket and a nice curve toward the back. The bottom side has 2 filled mortise pockets and a large crack. The crack is stable but we drove a bolt through the mantel to prevent any more changes. This old beam came from a old barn near SW Wisconsin. It dates back to the late 1800s when that area was being settled. We can cut this beam down and reduce the price — less $10/in, up to $115. Size: 71.5in Long x 8.25in Tall x 8.25in Deep Name: Green Stamps

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 Hand Hewn Oak Fireplace Mantel With or Without 3 Fills5.0We reviewed mantels on more than 20 websites before purchasing one from Antique Woodworks. The mantels there were extremely well photographed, precisely measured, perfectly described, and sold as advertised. They even included a short history on where they originated. We're very happy with what we purchased.
