We couldn't be happier with our mantel from Antique Woodworks. We came in with specs determined by leftover mounting hardware, and Kevin accommodated all our specific needs and made our custom order process easy to navigate. He was very communicative over email, ensuring that we were on the same page with follow up questions and images. He even gave us multiple options for the grain of the various boards, taking time to explain why he thought different combinations worked well visually. We appreciated his friendly updates with process photos throughout. We also loved that we could see other projects online--we like the naming convention! It seems like Kevin genuinely enjoys his work and his craft. We received our well-packaged mantel and it fit like a glove on our existing mounting hardware. The customer service and prices at Antique Woodworks are fantastic, and we couldn't be happier with the quality of the piece. Thank you, Kevin and Mari! Would definitely return here for future custom pieces.

Antique Woodworks was wonderful to work with! Despite living many states away, it felt like we had an in-person custom experience working with Kevin. His responsiveness, consideration of our needs, suggestions, and wide range of solutions was wonderful. Our mantel is has surpassed expectations and completed our room. Thank you!

I bought a mantel from Antique Woodworks about two years ago. I should have posted this sooner, but we're thrilled with the purchase we made. The owners cut it and did some fine tuning right on the spot, which saved me time for installation. Further, my wife didn't want a mantel with lacquer and poly off-gassing in our master bedroom so the piece is finished with a wax product which is marvelous. Finally, we appreciated the owners giving us the background of the wood species and where this beam was likely harvested from. While a little out of the way from the Twin Cities, it was a worthwhile experience and I would recommend these folks highly.

Kevin created 2 beautiful mantels for our home! He is meticulous about the details and a true craftsman. His partnership with Wyatt allowed us to add iron details that made them each unique! Thank you all for adding such beauty to our home. We love them!

Kevin is a delight to work with. I have traveled most of my life for assessing and researching the architectural styles of different European countries. I was trying to design a mantel for my 1932 historical house and I never thought I could achieve that task till I met Kevin. Together we designed a mantle that came out just exquisite. Kevin's work is nothing less than flawless and his attention to details is unmatched. Thanks you again Kevin.

Found Antique Woodworks online - and what a lucky find! Owners Kevin and Mari are the best to work with! I told them what I was looking for and they selected the perfect hand hewn barn timber beam for my fireplace project. Pricing, available inventory, great customer service - they have it all in spades. Never hesitate to work with Antique Woodworks! Looking forward to doing some more work with them in the near future...

The knowledge, selection and service provided by Antique Woodworks was simply the best. We were looking for a mantel and Kevin offered a wonderful selection, was willing to finish out a few for us to choose and offered some great ideas. Price was more than fair too. You cannot find a better business for reclaimed wood options, whether it's a fireplace mantel or other furniture needs.

Kevin was most helpful in identifying a rustic mantel that would fit our needs and style. His communication was great and I could not have been more pleased with the level of service. The finished product was beautiful and has really added some unique character to our family room. I would strongly recommend Kevin and his company Antique Woodworks.

I can’t say enough about this company, to work with a person via email to custom order something so central as a mantle is a daunting task. Kevin does an excellent job of listening to your wants and matching it to the product he has in stock. Once the mantle is picked he makes very sure that you are in the know about what you’re getting and the process that the piece is going through IE finish or steel work. I would absolutely do it all over again.

We recently had the absolute pleasure of picking out this gorgeous reclaimed red elm fireplace mantle shelf while visiting the Antique Woodworks workshop. Kevin and Mari are warm, welcoming and excellent craftspeople. They went above and beyond, both during email exchanges and in person. We learned the history of our mantle piece, how to care for it, their background in the business, and much more. They even trimmed and finished the mantle to our size requirement before we left, while recommending a great park for us to take our young daughter to as they completed our selection. We highly recommend a visit to see them if you can. It was a real adventure for our family and the memories of our visit will add to the years of enjoyment we get from viewing our beautiful mantle. If you value history, fine craftsmanship and friendship, then this mom and pop shop is absolutely the place to reward with your hard earned dollars.

What an exceptional experience purchasing a reclaimed beam from Antique Woodworks! We were able to review pictures of the raw beam and select the piece. It was then cut to our specifications and finished and final pictures were emailed. We were not obligated to purchase the mantle unless we liked the finish product. It was carefully packaged and shipped to us and was received within a week. So pleased with how it came out and the customer service was excellent. Highly recommend!
