Each hand-hewn mantel piece starts as a solid log. Then they get hand-hewn and distressed by a highly skilled team of artisans. These rustic-looking beams are each unique from one another, including nail holes, knots, and hand-hewn marks. All mantels are kiln-dried to remove moisture and preserve the integrity of the wood, making them suitable for long-term use indoors. Rustic mantels are the perfect spot to display family photos or vintage collectibles and will enhance the rustic charm of any room. The mantel shelf gives a unique weathered look. These mantels are solid wood and should be mounted according to the wall construction wherever the mantel is displayed. Longer-length mantels may be heavy and exceed 80 pounds. Product dimensions will vary slightly being that it is a natural wood product. Please note: These mantels do not come with mounting hardware.
