Fireplace Mantel With Metal 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. 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 single layer with handmade rivets applied. We price most of our hewn mantels run $135/LF to $150/LF. Circle sawn mantels run $115/LF. Any ironwork is in addition to the wood mantel price. These single layer straps run $350 for an installed pair. Note, the one image has a square crafted with an iron ring. Iron rings on a metal plate run $75 each. 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 Unique Mantel With Reclaimed Wood And Metal Wave4.8From beginning to end this was a great project.. I was rebuilding a fireplace and the mantel was the finishing piece. Kevin’s communication along the way advice for color and design and the pictures back and forth made me really feel he was vested in my project. The final product is beautiful and as it should be its the center Piece of the fire place. Truly a pleasure thank you.

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.
