Reclaimed Barnwood Fireplace Mantels – Handcrafted by Raised in a Barn Furniture
A fireplace is the heart of a room. The mantel is what gives it personality. Raised in a Barn Furniture builds reclaimed barnwood fireplace mantels that turn an ordinary fireplace into a warm, welcoming focal point. Each mantel is built by hand in Colorado from authentic salvaged barnwood.
We carefully select, clean and restore old wood from real barns and farm structures, then turn it into solid rustic fireplace mantels, floating mantel shelves and full mantel beam designs. No two beams are ever the same. Every knot, saw mark and weathered edge tells a story.
Interesting Fact:
Many reclaimed barn beams are decades old, sometimes over 80–100 years. This older wood has already done most of its expanding and contracting, which often makes reclaimed mantels more stable than new lumber and ideal for long-term use.
Why Choose a Reclaimed Barnwood Fireplace Mantel?
Homeowners, designers and builders love reclaimed wood mantels because they add warmth, history and texture that factory-built mantels can’t match. A reclaimed barnwood fireplace mantel works beautifully in modern farmhouse living rooms, cabins, mountain homes, rustic basements and even clean, contemporary spaces that need a natural accent.
- Each mantel is unique – no two beams look the same
- Authentic character from real barns and historic structures
- Works with stone, brick, tile or shiplap fireplace surrounds
- Available in hand-hewn, rough-sawn or more refined finishes
- Built to last and heavy enough to feel truly solid
Better for the Environment
Choosing a reclaimed barnwood mantel helps reduce demand for newly harvested timber and keeps usable wood out of landfills. Instead of buying something made from brand-new lumber, you’re giving old material a second life and helping lower the overall carbon footprint of your remodel. It’s a smart, eco-conscious upgrade that still looks incredible.
Custom Sizes, Styles & Finishes
Raised in a Barn Furniture can custom make fireplace mantels to fit your space. Need a long barn beam for a wide stone fireplace? A chunkier log-style mantel for a cabin? A simple rustic mantel shelf for a gas insert? We can help design exactly what you have in mind.

Pro Tip:
When choosing mantel size, make sure the beam extends beyond the fireplace opening, and keep proper clearance from the firebox and any heat source. Your installer or contractor can help confirm local code and safe mounting height.
A Mantel You’ll Want to Keep in the Family
A reclaimed barnwood fireplace mantel is more than décor. It becomes a story piece. Family photos, holiday décor, candles and keepsakes live here. Because these mantels are built from solid, proven timber and crafted with care, they are made to last for generations.
