Description

Enhance your entryway with this pair of hand-carved corbels and a mantel from North House Instructor, Jock Holmen!


Two hand-carved corbels, made of northern white pine, are 42 inches tall and 6x6 inches square, and the top is 50 inches long and 6x6 inches square. These would be used as decoration, made to be a crown above a 36 inch wide door. 


The posts intentionally do not extend fully to the ground to avoid rotting on the interior or exterior, and serve as a decorative and welcoming addition to your existing door.
