Rough Hewn Poplar Fireplace Mantel Shelf

Quick Answer: The Dogberry Collections Rough Hewn Poplar Mantel is a solid American West poplar fireplace mantel shelf with a hand-textured, adze-hewn front face. Available in 36"-72"  widths, six finish options, and two depth profiles - it brings authentic reclaimed wood character without salvage-wood inconsistency.

The Rough Hewn Poplar Mantel starts with the same solid American West poplar as our Farmhouse shelf, then our craftsmen run an adze across the face to carve a hand-hewn surface texture - the same technique used in traditional timber framing. The result is a mantel shelf that reads as reclaimed or antique without the warping, checking, or unknown history of actual salvage wood. It pairs naturally with brick surrounds, shiplap, board-and-batten, and exposed-beam ceilings.
