Crafted from beautiful Eastern Red Cedar, sometimes called Aromatic Cedar, the small knots and red-white color in this shelf add showcase the unique beauty in each individual log. Cedar fireplace mantles are hand-made from natural wood for a durable addition to your home that will last for years.
Details about Log Cut Styles
Natural Face: On some logs the bark of the tree comes off during the sawing and drying process. The exposed bare edges will show the shape of the log along with knots and character marks.
Square Face: This style combines the look of a solid wood mantel with a more traditional flat face. The face will show the same grain patterns that are seen on the top and bottom of the mantel.
Draw Knife Face: If the face of a mantel is damaged in the manufacturing process, the wood is smoothed out with a draw knife. The grain will normally show as in a Square Face mantel, but the mantel will retain the log edge look. The ends of a Draw Knife mantel will stay square.
Carved Face: The front face and ends of these mantels are molded and shaped with carving tools to add depth and character to the final product. This carving will accentuate knots in the mantel face. Cracks that may develop in the drying process will also be softened.
