It's amazing how something as simple as an antique barn beam can add so much character to a living space. Olde Wood's gorgeous hand-hewn timbers make the perfect fireplace mantels and add a tranquil, natural element to rustic or modern contemporary interior designs. Our large selection of reclaimed architectural timbers and beams are strikingly beautiful and structurally solid. They maintain a look that is defined by the workmanship long ago that went into each precision swing of the craftsman's axe, whose hand-eye coordination produced expert squaring and spot-on straightness. These premium fireplace mantel tops are hand-graded and selected to match your precise design preferences. Every piece has a life of its own, made apparent through the authentically natural patina, nail holes and aging stress cracks that adorn each surface. Our wooden fireplace mantels will be custom-cut to your specified length, surface de-nailed, treated for insects, pressure washed and kiln dried to ensure durability and sustainability. Every reclaimed beam is an organically unique structure, please contact one of our representatives to specify desired width and surface grade. Our vast inventory lets you hand select the best piece for your space, then choose the surface type you prefer, including heavy or bold characteristics, smooth sides or special features. Our antique timbers are normally shipped as raw pieces, but we also offer a natural tung oil finish if you prefer a softer look.

This homage to prairie style architecture located at The Rim Golf Club in Payson, Arizona was designed for owner/builder/landscaper Tom Beck. This home appears literally fastened to the site by way of both careful design as well as a lichen-loving organic material palatte. Forged from a weathering steel roof (aka Cor-Ten), hand-formed cedar beams, laser cut steel fasteners, and a rugged stacked stone veneer base, this home is the ideal northern Arizona getaway. Expansive covered terraces offer views of the Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish designed golf course, the largest stand of Ponderosa Pines in the US, as well as the majestic Mogollon Rim and Stewart Mountains, making this an ideal place to beat the heat of the Valley of the Sun. Designing a personal dwelling for a builder is always an honor for us. Thanks, Tom, for the opportunity to share your vision. Project Details | Northern Exposure, The Rim – Payson, AZ Architect: C.P.
