I need a 16 ft. long piece of cherry 8/4 x 6" to use as a mantle.

Please let me know if you have one for sale.

That is one Big Freakin Mantle G

Going to be hard to find it @ 16'
Try skarfing two pieces, if done right you will never see it

Good Luck

I've got some peices like that. But they all tend to split. Your best bet
for stability is to glue one up alternating grain directions.

You might look into reclaimed used timbers. One outfit near me is
vintagetimber.com. Their stock varies but includes "western slope old
growth Douglas Fir, Pine, Redwood and Cedar, antique eastern hardwood
timbers and barn board planks and reclaimed flooring from Australia".
IIRC I found them by googling on "exotic woods" or was that "erotic woods"?

My thoughts exactly! What do you burn in that fireplace giant
redwoods? G

Can we see it when it's done?

I am not affiliated in any way, but they have been wonderful when I need a
specific piece of cherry.

One solid piece like that will be subject to twisting, waning,
splitting, cracking and bowing, especially over a fireplace.

You can get it from a retail millshop that
buys wholesale from a big supplier such
as Horn or Heidler in Chicago. You'd
have to call the shop and order it special,
and it would be many gold dabloons -
