Timber Mantels are produced by
recycling genuine old growth timbers.
Recycled wood is very popular with those of us
concerned with the environmental issues surrounding logging of the
remaining stands of old growth forest. Recycled wood comes from old growth
woods harvested decades ago and reduce the need to harvest current old
growth stands..
Our Timber Mantel products come from lumber that has been salvaged in and
around the Eureka, California area. These timbers may have come from old
lumber mills, warehouses, bridges, rail road trestles or docks in the area.
Our old growth Timber
Mantels tend to have about 20 growth rings per/inch and contain a varying
degree of "character marks" which result from previous joinery. These
include bolt holes, nail holes, mortises, and notches and the seasoning
checks which result from being air dried for many years.
