Walnut Mantel With Metal Inlay
Solid fireplace mantel with metal inlay. This is a great way to get a mantel with more of a rectangular shape. Reclaimed beam mantels in the old barns are usually square -- 6x6s, 8x8s, etc… This is way to get that nice deep shelf with recliamed wood. The metalwork is all hand hammered, coal fire forge work. This is important because the metal takes on a more dynamic color range than if we just use a gas forge. The rivets on the metalwork can be flush or protruding. Protruding provides a nice spot to hand Christmas stockings and other decorations. This style can be made of any kind of wood -- modern walnut, reclaimed oak, cherry, reclaimed douglas fir, you name it. Lots of neat options here. The reclaimed oak one with nail holes in the face is currently available. It is 4.25in tall x 7.75in deep x 72in long. Pricing varies by wood species and size of mantel. In general, for the wood portion, oak runs $110/LF and walnut runs $160/LF. Metalwork runs $200. Shipping is currently $150 for oak; $175 for walnut. (we package walnuts plywood for safe shipping).

Kevin Coffel
Antique Woodworks
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.

Sep 23, 2022Antique 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.
