Mantles & Slabs
We regularly have slabs of cedar, oak, redwood, douglas fir, and local pines (Sugar, Ponderosa, Jeffrey) in stock, plus a limited supply of tropical monsoon blowdown Indonesian Mahogany and Tigerwood. These can be used for cozy mantels, unique countertops, impressive tables, and many other applications. Our pieces come in a great variety of sizes, and we can now cut slabs up to 36″ wide, and have even wider pieces available in our inventory.
Antique Reclaimed Mantles
Reclaimed wood makes wonderful Fireplace Mantle Pieces as well as any other mantel application you can imagine. The wood has an antique wood appearance that greatly enhances the aesthetics of a room or fireplace mantel piece.
As for the correct spelling, Mantles and Mantels are both acceptable.

Countertops and other Slabs
There is a “Bug Tree” epidemic in our area, and occasionally we are able to purchase one of these dead or dying grandfathers for some of the finest finish wood anywhere.
Standing Dead Ponderosa Pine usually has ‘Blue Stain’ and Standing Dead Sugar Pine sometimes does as well. For years big saw mills paid less for ‘Blue Stain’ Pine
but now a specialty market has grown from the unique and beautiful look of the product.
We often have slabs 2″, 3″, and 4″ thick and 24″ to 36″ wide. Call for stock on hand.
