Victorian Fireplace Mantel

By FWW_Gallery, member Oct 24, 2012

Woodworker: Mario Rodriguez

For this mantel, each ornamental element was constructed independently. the pilasters, brackets, and moldings were then mounted to the foundation so the completed mantel could be installed as a single finished unit. The mantel shelf is composed of built-up moldings. The piece is finished with a glaze coat..

For a project plan and step-by-step construction information, see Mario Rodriguez’s book, Building Fireplace Mantels.
