ABOUT OUR CUSTOM MANTLES

Mantles made from live edge slabs are stunning and unique pieces that add a touch of natural beauty and rustic charm to a fireplace or wall space. These mantles are crafted using live edge wood slabs, which retain the natural, untrimmed edges of the tree trunk. The live edge detail enhances the mantle’s organic appeal, showcasing the raw and distinctive character of the wood.

Live edge slabs used for mantles can be sourced from a variety of species, such as oak, pine or fir. Each slab is chosen for its size, shape, and aesthetic qualities. The live edges, with their irregularities, bark remnants, knots, and natural contours, contribute to the table’s character and showcase the raw and natural beauty of the wood.

The live edge slab serves as the main horizontal element of the mantle, providing a substantial and focal point above the fireplace or on a wall. It can be custom-cut to the desired length and thickness, ensuring it fits the space and complements the overall design. The natural grain patterns and variations in color of the wood add warmth and character to the mantle.

Mantles made from live edge slabs can be further enhanced with additional design elements. For instance, corbels or decorative brackets can be added to provide support and enhance the visual appeal. The slabs can also be finished and sealed to protect the wood, highlight its natural beauty, and provide a smooth surface.

The style and aesthetic of mantles made from live edge slabs can vary depending on the chosen wood species and finish. They can range from rustic and farmhouse-inspired to more contemporary or modern designs. The natural elements of the live edge slabs bring a sense of warmth and connection to nature to any interior space.

A live edge slab mantle becomes the centerpiece of the room, creating a focal point that draws attention and adds character to the fireplace or wall. It offers both functionality and a unique visual statement, serving as a place to display decor items, family photos, or artwork while bringing a touch of natural elegance to the space.
