What it is, and why it matters.
A mantel is a visual anchor: the first thing you see when you walk in and the place where holiday decorations and family photos land. A thick reclaimed beam brings weight, age and presence, and the right cut and finish ties the room together.
We cut mantels from hand-hewn beams, mill timbers and chestnut, in the length, depth and thickness you choose, and mount them with hidden steel. Nashville customers use them with wood-burning and gas fireplaces, and we share clearance guidance and finishing choices so the mantel is safe and beautiful.

Fireplace Mantels: common questions
How far above a fireplace should a mantel be?
Clearances depend on the fireplace type and local codes, and your fireplace manufacturer's instructions come first. We share common guidance and urge you to confirm with your installer.
Can a reclaimed mantel crack from heat?
Dry old beams are stable, and with correct clearances heat is not an issue. We point out any existing checks so there are no surprises.
