The massive timbers I use for mantles come from small local sawmills in northern Wisconsin. They can be sized to fit your home or business. If you are interested in having a custom mantle created please email the size (length and height) you desire. Also specify the fish, bird or animal species you are considering. Note that custom orders may require 6 to 12 months to complete. The wood I use will be determined by the availibility from local mills.
