Trestlewood's Live-Edge Mantels are unique pieces, often taken from Mixed Hardwood Sleeper Middles (although softwoods are often used as well), that retain a "live"/natural front edge. Many customers also use these pieces for shelves or other applications like table tops and benches. These finished mantels are created from our Unfinished Live-Edge Mantels.
NOTE: If you are a Do-It-Yourself type (and would like to save some money!), you may consider purchasing an Unfinished Live-Edge Mantel and doing your own finishing. This document contains some Do-It-Yourself Tips from our in-house mantel guru: Mantel "Do It Yourself" Finishing Tips.
