Fireplace mantel
Mar 14, 2010
This is me and my dad’s first woodworking project. The mantel has black walnut panels and the rest is knotty alder with an “early American” stain. It is finished with a semi-gloss polyurethane. The walnut was leftover from my hardwood floors and the alder matches my kitchen cabinets. A majority of this project was put together with pocket screws. The “M” is my first attempt at an inlay. It worked so well that I put that piece on the top arch of the fireplace. The fireplace is lined with 12×12 slate tiles. My dad found a picture of a mantel that we both liked that incorperated an arch. We then changed things around until we liked the final product.

Now that's the way to send scraps to the fireplace; very handsome. I guess that's a gas log fire. If it were a wood burning fireplace I think codes and good practice would dictate keeping that wood further from the opening--I think it's 12 inches, but may not remember correctly. Something those of us inspired by this piece need to think about.
It is a propane fireplace. We rarely use the fireplace, mainly for emergency heat if the power goes out. The sides are 6 inches apart. Thanks for the comment.
