Each mantel is custom made. I can work from the designs you see here or I can design a project with any subject matter you want. Prices are determined by size, type of material, design and the amount of labor required to create your own individual piece of art. If you have a budget in mind, I can design the mantel to fit. Many of the designs you see here can be customized to fit your needs. I have been carving professionally for 38 years and take pride in my ability to taylor the design and price to each client's needs.

It's best to order your mantel as early as you can but if you are on a tight schedule, and your mason is scheduled to install your fireplace soon, you can put up a plywood box that the mason can rock up to and you cn then slide the mantel in later and tuck point around it.

My mantels are designed with a cutout in the back and constucted so that mounting hardware is not visible. This allows clean looking installation. I provide working drawings that you or your contractor can work from.
