Oak wood fireplace mantel
In today's world, it seems that almost any topic is open for debate. While I was gathering facts for this article, I was quite surprised to find some of the issues I thought were settled are actually still being openly discussed.
When talking about fireplace mantles, Oak might be the best choice for your needs. A fireplace mantle made of Oak is beautiful, tough and will look great in any home. There are a number of different styles, textures, materials and colors to choose from though, so don’t hurry the decision. Be it ornate carving, or warm, friendly curves, whatever your taste or need, though, a beautiful solid oak fireplace mantle is undoubtedly a good investment.
Have you ever seen the soft pink color of a beautiful straight-grained raw piece of red oak? That is only accentuated when it is cut, shaped, sanded down and stained. The wood is wonderfully workable, as well. It takes screws well, and takes very well to being stained, so long as it is let dry properly.
You might not consider everything you just read to be crucial information about an oak wood fireplace mantel. But don't be surprised if you find yourself recalling and using this very information in the next few days.
Most often, Oak wood is used for domestic purposes. Flooring, doors, cabinetry, furniture and other such. In the past, though, it was used in almost any capacity because it is not only beautiful, but it’s a hardwood, and can take plenty of punishment. Most of the industrial uses of oak have been filled by plastics or metal today. Another reason for its widespread use is that it grows in the eastern US in vast forests. It accounts for over a third of commercial hardwood sold in the United States. Such a high demand, and supply generally keeps the price of oak low.
Another reason this wood is good for your mantle piece is that it is wonderfully resilient. Oak is a strong slightly flexible wood that will last years before it shows ware.
Of course, it's impossible to put everything about an oak wood fireplace mantel into just one article. But you can't deny that you've just added to your understanding about an oak wood fireplace mantel, and that's time well spent.
