Looking for a unique, rustic addition to your home décor? A rough sawn reclaimed wood mantel might be just what you need. These mantels offer a blend of natural beauty and historical significance that can enhance the look and feel of any room.
A rough sawn reclaimed wood mantel is made from wood that has been reclaimed from old buildings, barns, or other historic structures that are no longer in use. The wood is then cleaned, processed, and prepared for use as a mantel.
The "rough sawn" part of the name refers to the way the wood is cut. Instead of being planed down to a smooth finish, the wood is left with its natural rough texture intact. This adds to the rustic, natural look of the mantel and makes it a great focal point for any room.
One of the biggest advantages of choosing a rough sawn reclaimed wood mantel is the unique character it can add to your home. No two pieces of reclaimed wood are exactly alike, so you'll have a one-of-a-kind mantel that adds charm and personality to your décor.
Reclaimed wood is also eco-friendly, as it gives new life to wood that might otherwise go to waste. And because the wood has already been through the aging process, it's less likely to warp or crack over time, making it a durable and long-lasting choice for your home.
When choosing a rough sawn reclaimed wood mantel, there are a few things to consider. First, you'll want to decide on the type of wood you want. Common options include oak, pine, and chestnut, but there are many other types of wood available as well. Ultimately, the species isn't as important as the visual patina and character as the charm from reclaimed wood is from these two factors.
You'll also want to consider the size and style of the mantel. Make sure to measure your fireplace to ensure a good fit, and choose a style that complements the rest of your décor. We recommend making a cardboard mockup of different face heights and depths (depth to the wall) to see what visually works and is in balance. This is particularly helpful balancing the girth of the mantel beam in concert with a TV and/or fireplace adjacent to the beam.
Finally, you'll want to think about the finish of the mantel. All of our clients prefer a natural, unfinished look, while others prefer a stain or paint to match their décor. A great look is a paste wax which helps seal and makes the texture softer to the hand. You can use something like a Briwax.
