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).

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 Rustic Fireplace Mantel - Rare 1800s Rectangular, Elm Hand Hewn4.7Kevin did a fantastic job on my custom made mantels. This was my first time using Custom Made and I was very leery about using it since I could not actually touch the product. When Kevin sent pictures, I immediately loved his work but when I opened the shipping packages and I fell in love with the masterpieces in front of me! What a unbelievable work of art!! He is truly the best at his work!! If you choose anyone but Kevin, you will be getting a second place art piece and wasting your money!! Thanks Kevin. Job well done!!
