Finished Fireplace Mantels
Most of our work is made-to-order; however, on occasion we get a chance to finish a few mantles here and there on our personal favorite beams. As much as we'd like to stock pre-finished fireplace mantels, it seems that once they hit this page, it's only a couple of weeks and they're sold. If you find something to your liking on this page, we probably have something similar in raw format -- even in different sizes.
Be sure to look at the Wood and Metal Mantels as well as the Mantel Shelves.
