Looks great! What are you using to clean up the visible sides of the beam?

Hey there, we are proud to manufacture our mantels right here in the USA out of solid beams that we salvage from old ag buildings in the upper Midwest. There are numerous steps involved in making these fireplace mantels and it takes a lot of effort and time to get them ready to sell. Our crew works hard and we pay them a living wage. We also offer free shipping to the lower 48 which is a huge savings to our customers. Thanks for following along!
