The Craftsman Brace
The Craftsman Brace
The Craftsman Brace captures the raw beauty of 19th-century workmanship, reclaimed from an original barn knee brace and transformed into a striking hand-hewn mantel. Its weathered grain and visible axe marks carry decades of authentic history, while the unique angle and character of the brace create a one-of-a-kind focal point.
Dimensions: 6" tall x 7-1/4" deep x 58" top surface, 70-1/2" at its longest point.
*Listed as an individual piece, the mantel shown is the exact one you will receive—every knot, tool mark, and timeworn detail tells its own story, ready to bring rustic heritage into your home.
