No fireplace is complete without a mantle. And no mantle is as distinctive as one from The Rainy Lake Mantle Company. They are as unique and individual as the trees from which they're crafted. Our mantles are made from hand-selected Northern Minnesota pine or northern white cedar logs. The logs are peeled by hand with an old-fashioned drawknife, then cut to an exact fit with chainsaws and chisels. Custom Installation Unlike most mantle companies, we do the work right at your home or job site. By assisting with the installation, we become an integral part of the construction of your fireplace. Because your mantle is built into the fireplace framework it has superior supporting strength. Whatever your choices, a mantle from The Rainy Lake Mantle Company will be a primary focal point of your home and a source of pride for years to come. Custom Finishing Your mantle can be finished in one of three ways: hand-planed, for the smoothest finish; chisel-finished, which is characterized by shallow scallops; or chainsaw cut, which is left naturally rough from the saw blades. Decorative Log Work In you have any special needs, contact us with your vision and we will help to make it a reality. We can build custom entertainment centers, bars and full log benches to your specifications.
