ISO outdoor fireplace mantel in the DFW area

[RascalArms]

We are building our new home and looking for a weathered rustic solid wood mantel for our outdoor fireplace. I’m new at this so feel free to educate me as I’m not entirely sure what the preferred wood (pine, cedar, ash, elm?) is needed to withstand the outdoor elements? The fireplace itself will be stone and under a covered patio but obviously outside nonetheless. We prefer it to look “reclaimed barnwood type”...maybe similar to the below pics found online.
Anyone in the TBH world know of a good source in the DFW area that won’t break the bank?

Yeah, some of those are really cool. I saw them posted on FB Marketplace but the guy is in Kentucky and.......well......there’s that

Just west of Sanger.

They are great to work with, we bought a mantle, then a table and now are considering some cabinets.

There’s a sawmill up in tioga that our company bought some stuff from a few years ago. I was looking around as they loaded me up and saw some awesome looking mantles. Talked to a guy about them and they seemed to know their stuff. Cedar Depot was the name I think.

There is a place called Old World Lumber Company in South Irving close to Lone Star Park.

I just bought some flooring and a mantle from them. They won't break the bank, but they'll fracture it.

I was going to mention these guys as well, they have a large selection of old barnwood for mantles

Hill country mercantile about five miles south of I-20 on 281 as you’re headed toward Stephenville usually has some mantles. Can’t speak for pricing but I’m sure they’re not cheap. Have also heard of a place in Weatherford, possibly on N Main near the railroad tracks but haven’t seen it myself.

I believe it is called Southwest log Home, they are in or near Saginaw, they have tons of old reclaimed lumber, bought quite a bit from them.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I have some starting points for sure now.
