Custom Cut Air Dried Mantel

About This Project

This customer’s project is an impeccably crafted mantel piece, situated atop an electric fireplace which truly elevates the space. 

The dark staining applied to the air-dried oak not only enhances the natural beauty of the wood, but it also creates a striking contrast against the rest of the room. The deep, rich tones of the oak provide a sense of warmth and comfort, mirrored by the fire itself. 

The inherent qualities of air-dried oak make it an exceptional choice for interior projects such as this as it retains its unique character, preserving the natural grain patterns and subtle variations in colour. This creates a visually captivating effect that adds depth and interest to any space whilst evoking a sense of connection with nature and the traditions of woodworking.  

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, air dried oak possesses remarkable stability. Its carefully controlled drying process reduces the risk of warping or splitting, which is particularly important for interior applications. This stability ensures that the mantel piece will remain in pristine condition for years to come. 

The mantel piece’s design seamlessly complements the overall room aesthetics. The clean lines and well-proportioned dimensions of the piece create a sense of balance and harmony. The flawless integration with the surrounding space makes this mantel piece an exceptional addition to any home. Just imagine cosy evenings with friends and family spent laughing and telling tales gathered around it. Not too close though!
