Hand Hewn Pine Fireplace Mantel Beam
Handhewn pine mantels are somewhat unique for us. We gather lots of hardwoods, but not much softwoods (spruce, pine, fir, hemlock — basically trees with needles). This hand hewn beam came from a barn near Waconia, Minnesota. It was actually on it's 2nd reuse in the early 1900s barn. One would venture a safe guess that the beam came from an earlier, smaller barn or granary at the same location. The beam probably dates back to the 1800s. The old barn was about 2 or 3 miles from Swedish immigrant, Andrew Peterson, Farm. The Andrew Peterson farm became famous, particularly in Sweden, after the meticulous journals he kept became the basis for Vilhelm Moberg's Emigrants book series. In one of the pictures, you can see a hand hewn pine beam. There were only a few in the barn. This may very well be the same beam. We will cut this beam down and discount the price by $9.50 per inch, up to a total of $115. SIZE: 72in Long x 6.5in Tall x 6.5in Deep NAME: Giver Her A Canary

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.

For Rustic Fireplace Mantel - Rare 1800s Rectangular, Elm Hand Hewn5.0Working with Kevin at Antique Woodwork was one of the most pleasant experiences. He was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful with me in picking the right mantel. For our fireplace renovation, we replaced the insert, tile, hearth and mantel. The mantel is showpiece of the whole thing. It's just breathtaking. Thanks Kevin!

For Dark White Oak Mantel Beam With Flowing Grains5.0It was great working with Kevin, so great I bought two mantels. He has the best selection of mantels on the internet. I also visited local artisans in GA but nobody had the beautiful finished product he provides. He was easy to work with and his website is the most thorough with multiple pics of each beam and they're listed by dimension. I just received the mantels and they were packaged nicely to make sure no damage to the edges or finish could happen while in transit. I can't wait to install them to complete my fireplaces. Pics to come.
