Architectural Arched Barn Brace. Mantel or Shelf
This is a very cool piece! It is one of ten similar that I have available.
It’s a perfect example of salvaged architectural timber. It was reclaimed from the “Bear Lake Farm” barn in northern Wisconsin. This magnificent barn was one of the largest in the entire state. Possibly in the entire world I’m told. Built by German Immigrants in the early 1900’s. This brace helped hold up the bottom floor where the milking cows were kept. I’ve milled it up some, planed off the old milk wash stain and sanded it smooth to bring out it’s wonderful grain.

“SHORELINE BEACH”
Living on the shore of Lake Superior, gives me inspiration to now and again to sculpt a mantel that reminds me of drift wood beams that regularly float in and rest on our beach. That was my intention with this piece. I inlaid a few pieces of found beach glass to add a little more interest. It’s only 7″ deep so if you want to utilize the entire 7″ shelf top, simply add a two x board to the back, or “float mount” it our from your wall. (see FAQ’s Installation) It would be a nice mantel for a lake home!

BURNED BLACKENED TWO PIECE SHELF
A straight forward honest shelf mantel for contemporary, traditional, or rustic setting. I burned it very slightly to blacken it some then a light coat of brown stain to further bring out the grain. Its pretty big so would work well in a larger room or one with higher ceilings. Moderate character still shows that it’s made of antique reclaimed timbers.

RUSTIC OAK TIMBER Natural finish
This piece has lots of reclaimed character. I milled the top, back, and bottom square and smooth to show off it’s spectacular old grain, but left the front “natural” to show its reclaimed history. Nice piece for just about any setting – in my opinion, even a modern one. See FAQ’s / “Installation” for instructions on how best to mount it because it’s a bit heavy.
