THE GRIST MILL MANTEL

Along the banks of many Kentucky rivers and streams, you’ll find the ruins of an old grist mill. Farmers and homesteaders relied on the grist mill for flour and cornmeal. Some grist mills also installed saws to process lumber from nearby forests. We don’t know where this beam came from, but our Grist Mill mantel harkens back to an era when industrialization first came to the frontier.

Grist mills and sawmills brought industrialization to the frontier to serve the ever-growing influx of people moving to Kentucky.  Using waterwheel power, some grist mills could process 5000 pounds of wheat and another 3000 pounds of corn per day.  The abundance of corn grown in Kentucky is why fifty percent of Kentucky whiskey’s grain bill is made from corn.  This unique “corn” whiskey came to be known as Bourbon.

We had to include a Grist Mill mantel in our Bluegrass Collection to honor the historical connection to our beloved bourbon, farming, and pioneering spirit.

CLASSIS WARMTH WITH A CONTEMPORARY FEEL

Our Grist Mill mantel is molded directly from a 6” x 5.75” beam which faithfully reproduces every nuance and detail of this beautiful beam. Features include, deep weathered woodgrain, tool marks, insect damage, saw marks, checks & splits, and character knots.
