The mantel shelf really has a nice flowing face. The sapwood (the wood just under the bark) meanders along the bottom edge, dodging the knots along the way. Because a 4×6 is too small by most people's standards, we joined two beam together to achieve a nice 12 1/2 in depth. This beam came from a turn-of-the-century barn near Afton, Minnesota. We can cut this mantel down in length and reduce the price by $9.16 per inch, up to a $110 discount. SIZE: 79in Long x 12.5in Deep x 3.75in Tall NAME: Lifesavers

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 Mantel Shelf Made From Reclaimed White Oak With Nice StreaksWorking with Kevin Coffel from Antique Woodworks was a pleasure from my very first email correspondence with him. Kevin was quick to respond and supplied an abundance of examples of both his past and ongoing projects. As we continued communicating specifics about the project we wanted to have done, Kevin provided expertise and valuable suggestions to help us in our decision with what would be "best" for our project. His communication was timely, professional, and always value added. Once we agreed to what we wanted, he provided updates to the ongoing work and made excellent suggestions that would better enhance the fireplace mantle he was making for us. We were completely satisfied with the work he did and the finished product even exceeded our expectations. I would very highly recommend Kevin for any projects you may be considering. The work he did will bring an increased beauty to our home.

For White oak mantle beamThe process of working with Kevin and the tam at Antique Woodworks was seamless and efficient. Even though everything was done remotely, it was very simple and questions we had were answered promptly.
We could not be more pleased with the finished product and it was an added bonus to learn the history of the wood that was used in making our fireplace mantle. The piece they made for us will be a focal point in our home for years to come.

For Unique Mantel With Reclaimed Wood And Metal WaveFrom 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 Rustic Fireplace Mantel Shelf - Cut Oak Tree-Like FaceI visited several websites before I came across Kevin's mantel's. I was hesitant to do business with a large custom company that was out of state, so I was drawn to the fact that Kevin runs a small but professional shop. He answered my questions in a timely manner and offered alternatives when a particular piece was already sold. I chose one and within a day it was already on it's way to me. It arrived today and I couldn't be happier. I'm so impressed with the product and the service that I'm thinking of doing wooden countertops.
