Rippling edges, dark knots and grain that seems to move. This live edge solid wood mantel shelf is shaped from one solid block and brings instant warmth above a fireplace. It also works as a striking display ledge in a hallway, living space or dining room.
Raw Meets Refined
The front keeps the tree's natural outline, waves and small irregularities included, while the top is flattened for display. Style it with candles, vases, framed prints or seasonal greenery. Choose a length a little wider than your fireplace opening or surround.
One Solid Piece
Unlike shelves built from joined boards, this mantel is carved from a single block, giving it a heavy, substantial presence. It arrives complete and ready to mount, with no assembly. A light finish brings out texture. Follow local code for clearance above any open flame, and wipe away dust with a dry cloth.
- Sizes: 36", 48", 60", 72" or 84"W, all 8"D x 8"H
- Material: single solid block of natural wood
- Finishes: Black, Oak, Brown or Walnut
- Mounting: wall mounted
- Assembly: none; ships as one complete piece
Grain and tone change from one mantel to the next, so yours will be unique. Each mantel is made to order once you order, in partner artisan workshops based in Vietnam.

Loved in real homes
Authentic feedback from collectors and interior designers across the U.S.
Stunning craftsmanship! The shelves feel silky smooth to the touch yet solidly built. The photo approval process before final finishing made the whole custom order worry-free.

Such an architectural statement on our wall. The fluid curves in the solid hardwood are executed flawlessly without any rough edges. Packed securely.
The dimensional layering of the wood pieces catches the daylight in the most satisfying way. Solid, authentic timber that smells great right out of the crate.

Transformed our powder room remodel into a boutique lodge sanctuary. The sealed finish holds up cleanly to moisture and the organic carved legs are incredible.

Ergonomic curves combined with solid hardwood heft. The wood finish complements our mid-century decor effortlessly. A true heirloom furniture piece.
The soft arched silhouette adds so much character to our foyer. Installation hardware was robust and the wood stain matches the catalog photos accurately.
