Custom Cypress Fireplace Mantle — crafted to last, finished by hand, beautiful to see.

This particular project was $2400.

Our Custom Rustic Southern Cypress Mantle isn’t just a shelf above your fireplace — it’s a gathering place in the making. Hand-selected from golden-hued cypress with grain that flows like river currents, each mantle is shaped, smoothed, and finished entirely by hand in the heart of Louisiana.

Because we believe a mantle should do more than frame the fire — it should frame your memories. From winter nights with hot cocoa to summer evenings filled with laughter, it will stand as a witness to your life’s best stories.

Order yours today, and let us craft the centerpiece your home’s been waiting for.

The full mantle facing and front is 72 inches long x 8 inches deep and 3 inches thick for the top piece and 1.5 inches thick and average 12 inches wide for facing. This mantle shelf included a deep pour black epoxy shelf and a pecky cypress front. 

Mantles can be created with just the shelf or complete with facing as well.

The single, shelf only mantle was 62 inches by 8 inches deep by 6 inches thick and was $850.  

A streamlined cypress mantle top with crisp lines and rich, natural texture. Built to measure and finished to your preference, it brings understated warmth and architectural presence without distraction.

We can create and fit any size and style of fireplace.

Shipping charges are additional.

Louisiana Cypress 

Cypress has deep roots in Louisiana craftsmanship, adding a local and cultural tie-in. While pecky cypress gets its signature look from rare organic voids formed over decades, all cypress lumber has its own unique color and grain. 

What Does Live Edge Mean? 

The primary distinction between live edge and non-live edge is that live edge wood retains its natural edges, whereas non-live edge wood has been trimmed or modified. The choice between live edge and non-live edge ultimately depends on individual taste. 

Our Process 

We use locally sourced cypress. The hurricane damaged logs are salvaged then milled by us on our personal mill.  This allows us to produce the exact lumber needed for each project.  Each piece then goes onto the solar kiln until it has reached 130℉ for 5 days and has 10% to 14% moisture content.  This process rids the lumber of bacteria and bugs. 

Once an order is placed, we thoughtfully select each material with the customer in mind. Every piece is expertly planed, sanded, and crafted with precision to create a truly exceptional final product. 

Please keep in mind that because we are working with a natural product so the grain, texture and color will vary from what you see on our other pieces. No item has the same grain color, finish, or wood knots. The price of your piece may vary from this project due to size, lumber and epoxy requirements.

Large pieces like this can take 3 months or longer depending on stock and time of year.
