Love this look? We can make a live edge fireplace mantel especially for your home.
Our handmade live edge fireplace mantels are created from individually selected solid timber, chosen for its natural grain, character and distinctive live edge.
The mantel pictured was a one-of-a-kind piece and has now sold, but we can create a similar style of rustic live edge mantel to order at our workshop in Corr na Móna, County Galway.
Because every piece of timber is different, your mantel won't be an exact copy, it will be an individual piece made for your home.
Live Edge Fireplace Mantels Made in Ireland
A live edge mantel retains the natural shape and character of the timber rather than creating a completely straight, uniform edge.
The result is a distinctive solid wood fireplace mantel that works beautifully above fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and chimney breasts.
Live edge timber is particularly suited to rustic, farmhouse, cottage and country interiors, but it can also create a striking natural feature in a contemporary room.

One-of-a-Kind Solid Timber
The beauty of a live edge mantel is that no two pieces are identical.
Natural edges, grain patterns, knots, spalting, colour variation, cracks and other characteristics give each piece its individual appearance.
Rather than trying to reproduce the exact mantel shown here, we'll select suitable timber to create a piece with the same natural, rustic live edge character.
Handmade Fireplace Mantels in Galway
Riverside Timber Craft specialises in handmade fireplace mantels, floating mantel shelves, wooden shelves and bespoke timber furniture in Ireland.
Our mantels are made at our workshop in Corr na Móna, County Galway, rather than being mass-produced or imported as finished products.
If you need something different from a standard off-the-shelf fireplace mantel, this is exactly the type of work we do.
Natural Timber Characteristics
Real timber is a natural material, and variations are part of its character.
Live edge timber may contain knots, spalting, grain and colour variations, cracks, splits and irregular edges. Timber can also naturally respond to changes in temperature and humidity over time.
These aren't something we try to hide, they're part of what makes a natural live edge fireplace mantel individual.
