I wouldn’t. Aren’t they full of creosote?

That was my first thought mabe for an outside Mateo but not inside I guess.

Not no, but hell no----unless you love the smell of creosote, especially when it warms up with a fire in the hearth.

Lots of good options for what you want to do. Railroad tie is not one of them.

they are treated with stinky arse shite that will funk up your house when it gets warmed up
the best way is go buy an untreated rough saw beam to use

All of this negativity. On the bright side, your mantel will never have termites.

. . . and that initial load of firewood will last a long long time.
