The most common thing anybody asks us to build. A single reclaimed beam, sized to your fireplace, finished by hand in our shop on South Jason Street.
Pick your stock
Hand-hewn barn beams — axe-scalloped faces, mortise pockets, peg holes. The classic mantel look.
1911 Union Station fir — old-growth Douglas fir with a documented address and date behind it. For when the story matters as much as the piece.
Live edge slabs — walnut, elm, or ash with a natural edge, for a more contemporary surround.
What to bring us
The width of your firebox opening, the height you want the mantel to sit at, and a photo of the surround. That is enough for us to pull stock that works and cut it to length.
Hanging it
We carry Ultrashelf floating brackets so the mantel appears to grow out of the wall with no visible hardware. We build the piece and supply the bracket; you or your contractor handle wall attachment, since that depends on whether you are going into studs, brick, or stone.

FIG. 002.QQuestions
Custom Mantels — common questions
How much does a custom reclaimed mantel cost?
It depends on the beam and the finish work. The material itself runs from $8 to $14 per board foot depending on species, plus fabrication. Call 720-236-0454 or start a project brief and we will price your specific piece.
How long does a custom mantel take?
It depends on our shop queue and how much finishing the piece needs. Talk to us early if you have a date — a fireplace surround going in on a schedule is worth planning around.
Can I bring my own dimensions?
Yes, and please do. Bring the width of your firebox opening, the height you want the mantel to sit, and a photo of the surround. We will pick stock that fits and cut it to size.
Do you install the mantel?
We build it and can supply the floating brackets to hang it. Most customers or their contractor handle the wall attachment, since it depends on whether you are going into studs, brick, or stone.
