Mantel Shelves

Here is a photo of a mantel over a wood burning stove - you can select your new Mantel Shelf from the following wood types which are now in stock for early delivery.

Please note that the following pictures have been scaled down for the web and cannot reveal the true beauty of the wood. Since wood is a natural product each piece is unique - nobody else can own a mantel shelf exactly like yours. Transport costs are fairly major since these are large and heavy but local deliveries can be done free.  Normally only top and front flat surfaces are finished to a high standard, using 4 coats of Danish oil, with sanding down between each appplication.  Please phone for more details if you would prefer to discuss other options.

Here are a couple of snaps (taken with a phone) of blocks in the yard before final treatment

and this one balanced on a stump.
