Fireplace Mantel With Iron Double Layer Straps
We can add metal straps to nearly all of our fireplace mantels. If you don't see a mantel that you like in this collection, we probably have another one that fits your desired style, color, and size. All of these metal straps are hand hammered and custom fit to each mantel. We usually use 3/16ths inch metal to give the straps an appropriate bulk for the size of the mantel. Our straps have a well-crafted, but very authentic look that only comes from a real blacksmith swinging a hammer and using a coal-fired forge. We strive for our products to look true and real — not machined. This look wonderfully complements these old beams with the 100+ year old ax marks made from pioneers swinging broad axes. This is the real thing. This particular variation is a double iron layer with handmade rivets applied. We price most of our hewn mantels at $135/LF to $150/LF. Circle sawn mantels run $115/LF. Any ironwork is in addition to the wood mantel price. These double layer straps run $725 for an installed pair. Most items ship for $150 via FedEx Gnd. Some larger mantels need to ship LTL Truck Freight for $275 to $400.

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 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.

For 1830s Rustic Log Cabin Fireplace Mantel4.8Antique Woodworks, specifically Kevin Coffel, was amazing to work with. Despite only communicating through email and pictures, he was able to deliver exactly what we were looking for in our mantle. With this piece being such a crucial statement piece in our new home, I can’t begin to put into words how nice it was to have Kevin concern himself with giving us exactly what we wanted. It is truly a beautiful work of art and we can’t wait to have it installed.
