Our wide selection of artistic redwood mantels features various unique and eccentric pieces. From highly figured and rustic, to contemporary and clean, we have it all. Although frequently used as fireplace mantels, these pieces are quite versatile. For example, mantel shelves, chimney pieces, or bookshelves are all uses for these pieces.

Interestingly, the curly grain patterns, often called “fiddle-backed” or “tiger-striped,” is due to nature. When a tree grows on a slope, it has a natural bend in the trunk; this bend causes compression in the grain on the inside of the tree. Then, this compression creates unique grain patterns that give the wavy grain we call “curl” or “curly”.
