FAQ

All of our wood products are made in the USA -- hand-crafted and manufactured at our facility in Fargo, ND.

We strongly believe in selling material that is ready to instal or build with, because of this all of our products are kiln dried to 6-10% moisture content to prevent cracking, warping, or other problems that arise from working with wet wood.

Our finishes are all water based and applied in house. Many of our finishes are multi-step processes to achieve a certain look while others are straight/single step stains.

Because most of our finishes are multi-step processes and not simple products we can not "sell them in a can".

Paneling is installed board by board using a brad nailer and some basic carpentry tools. We offer a simple guide that covers the basics of paneling installation here.

The reclaimed material is planed to 5/8" thick and the urban hardwood material is planed to 3/4" thick.

Anywhere from 1 to 18 feet long. 

In-stock mantels usually ship within 3-7 business days.

All of our fireplace mantels come pre-drilled to accept our innovative mounting bracket system. The bracket can be purchased separately.

Our floating shelves are sold as kits with the bracket included.

This is a matter of preference but we can custom cut the length of your mantel to whatever size you request. The mantel should not be shorter than the length of the actual fireplace. It is recommended that the mantel extend at least 4 inches beyond the firebox opening and if the fireplace has a surround it typically will extend at least 3-6 inches beyond that.

It’s within the nature of reclaimed wood to have features such as cracks, splits, holes, and other character details. Avoiding these features entirely is nearly impossible and we cannot specify or avoid these features on your mantel or shelves.

Our one-of-a-kind reclaimed wood mantels are salvaged from historic grain elevators throughout North Dakota and Minnesota. These unique pieces will add character and warmth to your home.  Available in a variety of finishes, textures and sizes. They are hand sanded and ready to install.
