A Stoating Peice of Oak

After taking an age investigating my Oak mantle options online with mixed results. Criteria was cost and quality. I found that Celtic Timber met all my requirements. The purchasing process was simple enough, delivered as promised professionally and on time. Packaging was immense. Unwrapping my 4' x 6" x 4" Planed Oak Mantle finish surpassed my expectations. I set-out the position, sanded to the required finish and applied the 'Pure' Coloured Wood Oil (50% of the Oil supplied was all I needed). Awaited the allotted 24 hours for drying out. Affixed the 4No Straight Brackets to my timber stud wall (NB to Tech Dept fixings Galvenised Steel material appeared a tad soft). In my opinion no need for the adjustment with the fixings. Both me and the boss were made up with Oak Mantle. Celtic TImber take a bow :) 10/10. Next project on her list is an Oak Post at our property entrance ;). I will be certainely be using Celtic TImber again. cheers, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Graeme

First beam I bought was fitted in 2015 and still looks good today. The beam fitted today 10th Oct 2023 as part of a renovation away from gas also looks good. I did have a problem with the wall as the old mortar was very crumbly but I used Rawlplug R-KEM II Styrene-Free Polyester Resin as an anchor for the bolts and everything was solid and the beam went up ok. Love the wood that Celtic supplies and at a good price. What's not to like.

I bug all my oak mantles from Celtic either by myself or I ask my customers to buy direct. Always excellent service from ordering to delivery.

Lovely piece of oak with a few small splits and knots to give it a bit of character. Mine came with 'T' brackets which do call for care when measuring and drilling the fixing holes and the rear face of the beam has to have a small recess cut out to accept each of the brackets. Very pleased with the finished result .. 10/10 !

Beautiful lump of oak. Planed square and ready to sand, finish and fit. Very pleased with the quality. Delivery was quick. More Photos to follow once the decorating is finished though these should give an idea.

Lots of splits in the beam but I'm ok with that now. Did arrive with some damage looks like from strapping in transit. I will be able to use that side to hang it though. In all very good value for money.

The Beam is very nice quality but arrived damaged. I am not sure if this was the courier or not but the beam was only wrapped in a thin sheet of plastic. Disapointed.

Oak Mantel

Ordered on a Friday received the following Thursday very well packed excellent service. Bought planed version took the edge’s off and lightly sanded before treating with pure oil really pleased with finish.
Would have been good if it had come pre drilled , but if confident easy enough.
