Fireplace Mantels Carved with Nature Scenes
Fireplaces are the focal points of many living rooms or great rooms, whether residing in log homes or not, but something about a log home demands a little more attention to this important architectural piece. The fireplace has been an integral part of log cabins since the beginning, when they were the sole means of heating the house and cooking for the family. With all that history in mind, you mind want to create something special, especially if you’re building a high-ceilinged great room with a loft as is so common in log homes. You want a fireplace that stands out even amongst all that space. One way to achieve that is to get a special mantel.
These carved wooden mantels would look great above the fireplace in the home of a nature lover. The company does everything from frontier life scenes and bucolic villages to elk, bears, and wolves traipsing through the forest. They specialize in nature scenes, but from their FAQ, it sounds like they’re willing to try their hands at just about anything. A $250 design fee is required up front, which is then put toward the purchase price of the finished mantel.
