Honest wood straight off our saws — real grain, real character. Green mantel blank — rough-sawn 103″ × 11″ × 5.5″, cut oversize on purpose. Sold green and rough, straight off the saw. Ends are sealed, it’s stickered, and it has not been dried. It will move as it dries, which is why it’s cut heavy — there’s enough meat on it to mill down to final size once it’s stable. Figure about a year per inch of thickness air-drying, or we’ll put it in the kiln for you and finish it out. Priced as green stock. A finished, kiln-dried, four-squared mantel this size runs $900 — this is the do-it-yourself number. One of a kind: when it’s gone, it’s gone. SKU SY-22Q-103-11-01-RGH.
