Question: What are the dimensions of a reclaimed wood mantel?
Answer: The dimensions of a fireplace mantel are from the viewer's point of view of the mantel. The vertical front dimension is the "face", the horizontal dimension from the face to the wall (either the top or bottom) is the "depth" or "protrusion", and the "width" is the dimension from left to right (horizontally).
Question: How are fireplace mantels attached?
Answer: We recommend hiring an experienced professional to properly install your fireplace mantel if you're in doubt. These reclaimed mantels are dense old growth wood so they are heavy, and the last thing you want is a failed installation. There are several methods but all proper methods should include securing the mantel to the wall studs. The most common installation choice is a floating mantel bracket; we recommend Shelfology for brackets like these.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Reclaimed wood differs from new wood in that it has not been newly harvested. Not only is the practice of reclamation environmentally beneficial, it produces a floor or wall paneling with more beauty, uniqueness, and character. You'll be able to see the difference between new wood that has been made to look old, and truly antique reclaimed wood. Choosing reclaimed wood of--any variety--is the most ecologically sound decision you can make. The density of old growth wood is significantly greater than wood we would harvest today. This is often why furniture and other items made 75 years or more ago are so strong and resilient; because the wood was.
-
We offer our fireplace mantels in their natural state with their unfinished aged patina. We highly recommend enjoying the natural patina as nature intended. Once received, you could choose to seal the beam and soften the surface texture by applying a hand wax, but most clients stick with the natural look. Any application of a sealant, stain, or wax will change the color of the mantel.
-
We are typically able to ship all mantels shown for sale on our website the same day or the next business day depending upon when we receive the order and if the carrier has already done their pickup for the day, however, there are occasions such as holidays when it may take a few extra days.
-
We ship all of our mantel and shelf orders either via ground for lengths up to 8' (all lengths over 8′ or weights over 150 lbs ship by freight service on a custom long pallet so the shipping cost is significantly higher).
-
Probably the easiest and most common way to hang a fireplace mantel corbel--if the overall weight is not too heavy--is with a keyhole bracket. This is the most practical if the corbel isn't actually supporting the weight of the mantel.
If the corbels will be supporting the weight of the fireplace mantel beam then hard mounting with bolts will be necessary.
HANGING THE CORBEL
You can easily find keyhole brackets at your local hardware store. Follow the directions on the package to route or chisel out a pocket behind where the keyhole bracket will be placed. We suggest using two keyhole brackets to ensure the corbel doesn't "swing" or pivot.
