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

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.
