Walnut Mantel

A walnut mantel is the piece a room arranges itself around, and walnut gives it the richest possible look: a deep, dark chocolate brown with the kind of flowing grain that reads unmistakably high-end. It is solid hardwood, joined with tight lock-miter seams into one clean piece, built thick — 5 or 7 inches — and made to your exact length, anywhere from 12 to 90 inches, at a depth from 6 to 18. Mount it above the fireplace as a true mantel, or run it across a living room, bedroom, or media wall as a substantial floating shelf; at this scale it anchors whatever wall it lands on. Finish it to match the room: a Natural Clear Coat to keep the walnut honest, deeper tones in Espresso or Bombay Mahogany, a lighter Bleached look, or Unfinished if you plan to finish it yourself — and if you have an exact shade in mind, we can match a custom Minwax stain to your color code. The Studlock Mantel Bracket is included and matched to your mantel, hidden inside so it appears to float with nothing holding it up, and fastened into the studs it holds up to fifty pounds per stud. Each one is made to order in the USA.
