From soft neutrals to deep, weathered browns, our finishes add warmth, texture, and rustic elegance to any space. Some of our most popular, naturally inspired tones include:

Laramie: A natural gray tone that complements contemporary spaces with a rustic feel and natural surface texture, perfect for a modern rustic fireplace mantel.
Cody: A varied plank with an array of grey tones complemented by warm brown hues, ideal for creating a barn wood mantel with unique character.
Cheyenne: A balanced wood finish featuring warm brown and honey blond tones that pair beautifully with barn wood décor and natural wood accents.
Saratoga: Deep, bold coloring with rich grain pattern that creates a striking focal point when used on a timber mantel or reclaimed mantel.

We also offer a few other finishes for a more bold rustic look, such as Sundance White, Sundance Red, Wheatland, and Casper. All of our finishes maintain the wood's naturally aged patina, nail holes, and color variations while performing beautifully in both residential and commercial applications.

MANTEL CONSTRUCTION: TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS

HOW TO BUILD YOUR PERFECT MANTEL

We don't sell pre-made beams. Instead, we provide the high-quality reclaimed barn wood materials you need to create a custom mantel yourself. There are two popular construction methods:

Box Beam with Paneling: Build a wooden box frame and wrap it with our reclaimed wood paneling for a rustic fireplace mantel that achieves the look of a heavy-duty solid wood beam without the weight.

Ready to Rip Trim: Use our ready-to-rip trim pieces to construct a custom-length box directly. This method is perfect for a wooden fireplace mantel that you can customize to fit your specifications and secure to wall studs.

FEATURE CENTENNIAL WOODS BEYOND YOUR FIREPLACE

Why stop at your reclaimed wood mantel when you can carry this natural beauty throughout your home? Use our reclaimed wood paneling for walls, ceilings, bathrooms, and décor to create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.

For larger renovation projects, our 6-foot bulk reclaimed wood planks are a cost-effective and sustainable choice, especially for installs around 500–1,000 sq ft. Whether you're installing a barn wood mantel above your fireplace, adding depth to your staircase, or creating an accent wall, our antique wood brings natural, rustic charm throughout your living space.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I build a mantel with your reclaimed wood?

Yes! We provide the materials, not pre-made beams, so you can build your own custom mantel. Use our paneling to wrap a box frame or our ready-to-rip trim to construct a beam from scratch. This approach gives you full control over custom length and design while achieving the look of a solid timber mantel. Need help with your project? Contact us for expert guidance.

Do the reclaimed wood planks have color variations?

Yes. Each board carries its own unique character from years of weathering in Wyoming's high plains. While the overall tone of each finish is consistent, expect natural variation in color, grain pattern, and nail holes that enhance the authenticity of your installation.

What finishes work best for a fireplace mantel?

Our most popular mantel finishes are Laramie, Cody, Saratoga, and Cheyenne. These offer a range from natural gray tones to warm browns that complement most living room décor and create beautiful focal points.

Is reclaimed wood safe to use near a fireplace?

Our wood always has the option for our Flame Stop II treatment, which provides a Class A Fire Rating. We also offer our Centennial Seal for protection against UV and moisture exposure. Both treatments ensure your reclaimed mantel is safe and durable.

Can I order custom lengths for my mantel project?

Yes. If you need a custom length, please call us, and we’ll help you choose the right materials for your mantel dimensions. Our materials come in standard lengths, and you can cut and assemble them to fit your exact specifications.

Do I need professional installation for a reclaimed wood mantel?

Not usually. Box mantels clad with our interior planks are much lighter than solid wood beams, making them easier for DIY installation. Secure your mantel to the wall studs for a heavy-duty hold. You may need professional help for very large installations or unique fireplace configurations.

Can reclaimed wood be used on the wall surrounding my fireplace?

Absolutely! Our reclaimed wood paneling can be used to create a full fireplace surround, accent wall, or complement your reclaimed wood fireplace mantel for a cohesive rustic look throughout your living space.

What's the difference between new wood and reclaimed wood for a mantel?

Reclaimed wood offers natural beauty that new wood simply can't replicate. Our barn wood features authentic weathering, nail holes, and grain patterns developed over years of exposure to Wyoming's elements. This gives your mantel a unique character and rustic charm that tells a story.
