Hand Hewn Mantel

Our reclaimed Hand Hewn Beams are harvested from various barns and structures throughout North America. They are present in 100 to 200-year-old barns, where, at the time of construction, sawmills did not exist. They are the oldest form of antique beams and a hand axe was used by our ancestors to create this most sought-after building material. These beams feature authentic axe marks, original mortise pockets, notches, peg holes, insect marks, and knots. Often use as a decorative mantel over a nice warm fireplace, they offer a unique element of decor and history.

All our orders are custom made. Please call us to discuss options, and see our “specifications” tab below for standard options.
