“Ellis Inspired” Craftsmen Shelf Mantel. Natural finish.
We are very proud of this Mendota Mantel “Signature Design” shelf mantel. It was made from lumber milled from a huge black walnut tree cut in 2006. The Craftsmen design is based on the work of Harvey Ellis, the famous Stickley Furniture designer of the early 1900’s. Our own Dan Guion came up with the design some 15 years ago. We’ve sold dozens since. This one however, is the first made from air aged black walnut. Finished finely.

“Ice Blue” with matching corbels
I’m fortunate to live in a northern hardwood forest where I have access to extraordinary timber. A local logger/ miller friend of mine puts aside special unique logs that show the most beautiful unique figured character. Then he ages them for a year, mills them into mantel slabs instead of his usual boards, and passes them on – only to Mendota Mantels! I’m very lucky to know him! (Thank You John!)
This is one of those rare pieces. It’s a “Live edged” hard red maple. The live edge has been sculpted and sanded smooth.
I chose this color because it reminds me of the ice now melting on my shore line here on Lake Superior.

This is one of those rare pieces. It’s a “Live edged” hard red maple with matching corbels. It’s quite figured. Rare. I sculpted the live edge smooth as you can see.
I’ve long wanted to make a piece in honor of Prince. This is that piece – finally!
“Prince Purple”! Why not? It’s a pretty color in any case wouldn’t you say?

It occurs to me that this would be a great soft piece for a bedroom….or….perhaps a very contemporary home. You might call it just a bit “avant-gardes”. Oh…pink..? Why not?
It’s a lovely color and why do mantels always have to be just wood grain anyways?

“Natural Finished Craftsmen with classic corbels”
I’m fortunate to live in a northern hardwood forest where I have access to extraordinary timber.

Then he ages them for a year, mills them into mantel slabs instead of his usual boards, and passes them on – only to Mendota Mantels! I’m very lucky to know him! (Thank You John!)
This classic craftsmen design is made from maple that has been milled to maintain some of it’s original character. I tried to authentically honor the great furniture American designers of the early 1900’s. Still and forever a classic look.
