Lexington Hearth Cabin Pine Concrete Faux Wood Mantel Shelf

A squared beam that transitions into a pole wane, at 6 inches the shallowest cast profile

The Lexington Hearth Cabin Pine is a wall-mounted, non-combustible cast mantel shelf, 6 inches deep, reproducing a pine cabin timber. Its defining feature is a conversion that runs from a squared surface into a pole wane, so one part of the beam reads as milled and another as the round log it was cut from.

Non-combustible is what lets a television go above the fireplace

Cast in Burncrete and certified to ASTM E136, the standard test at 750 degrees Celsius. In Lexington's words the non-combustible option "allows for closer placement to heat sources, making it an excellent choice for safely mounting a TV above the fireplace." A wood mantel sits at whatever clearance your fireplace manufacturer sets, and that clearance is often what pushes a television too high to watch. Your fireplace manual still governs the height.

At 6 inches it is the shallowest cast mantel in the range

The rest of the Bluegrass beams run 7.75 to 10 inches. The Cabin Pine is 6, which makes it the one that fits a narrow wall, a fireplace beside a doorway, or a walkway where a deeper shelf is something you catch a shoulder on. It also carries multi-level splits, fastener artifact damage, insect damage, deep checking, knots and saw marks, so the character is not reduced along with the depth.

It weighs 65 pounds at 60 inches and 75 at 72 inches, so fix the bracket into framing

The bracket carries the whole weight, so it has to reach structural framing rather than drywall anchors. Bracket, hardware, touch-up kit and manual all ship with it.

Hand-painted, so no two are identical, and custom colors are available

Maduro, Pale Honey and Weathered Grey are the standard colors we carry. Lexington casts and paints each one by hand and states that there will be minor variances in color, weight and final dimensions. That is the nature of the product, not a defect. They will also produce custom colors and lengths on request, so contact us before ordering if the standard range does not suit. Order a Bluegrass color sample first either way: what you pay for it is credited back when you buy the mantel.

Best for cabins, lake houses and any wall too narrow for a full-depth beam

The Cabin Pine is the cast mantel to choose when the room wants rustic timber and the wall cannot give up the projection. The squared-to-round transition reads as genuinely reclaimed rather than styled, and at 65 to 75 pounds it is one of the easier cast mantels to hang. Two lengths, 60 and 72 inches. If you have the depth to spare and want more presence, the Rickhouse is the fuller profile.
