Description
The brand’s largest hewn-beam mantel, a single 78 inch casting that is 8 inches tall and 9 inches deep. It is sold on its own as a heavy statement shelf and also forms the header of the Post & Beam Surround kit. Its size makes it the natural choice over wide or linear fireplaces where a standard 5-1/4 inch shelf would look undersized.

About the maker
Magra Hearth — a Wisconsin maker of lightweight cast-concrete mantels, hearths and boards that look like reclaimed timber or chiseled stone but are non-combustible (ASTM E136), so they can sit closer to the fire than wood. Every piece is hand finished, so no two are exactly alike.
