An installation north of Nebish, MN, on Highway 1, using Wille materials.

Another gorgeous installation of Wille logs and timbers.

Fireplace mantels highlight some of the most unique features of wood, and they can be added to almost any home. Choose from the smoothest, most uniform half log available or choose a mantel with so much character it becomes a converstation piece...the focal point of a room. One of our specialties is "porcupine" logs. This wood was once a porcupine's meal. But the tree did not die, it simply grew around the wound in an interesting pattern. It's quite beautiful. Burl is another unique growth pattern that is captured in some of our mantels.

We have several mantels in stock. All lengths are available. Several species of wood are available. We also have basic and character support posts to go with them. All you have to do is contact Don and tell him what type of features you are looking for in a mantel and he will find the perfect match for you. Better yet, visit us and pick out the one that captures your eye.

If you are ever driving through Effie, MN, you might notice these two landmarks. This first photo is of a structure at the Visitor's Center.

This is a monument. Both structures were built with Wille logs.
