BigFish Fireplace Mantle
 

Mind you its not quite done yet...gotta add some ornamental wood work like the dentil in front on the floor......it really jumps to life when I put this stuff up under the mantle top......it took the better part of 2 days to mock up a matle from scratch and measure and do a few drawings but it came out just perfect......I will finish trimming it out Friday then prime and paint! Finished pics later! :cool:

very nice larry!

Its going to be painted white along with all the base moldings...then that wall will be a light, kind of washed out green and the rest of the room will be a sand color!

They have a mantle like that at HOOTERS !

They have alot of nice "mantles" at Hooers! :cool:

all this hooters talk....... gotta be a sb.com meeting coming up soon!

Now there's a digression for ya! :rotfl: Nice work, Larry.

Lots of nice things you can do Larry. I made all trim and moldings on the router. Just make sure you have 18" of clearance around the fire box.
Here is one I did at the house.

The mantle I made. Made from Red Oak.

Nice work guys. I need to get to work on mine

Larry, it needs dentals!!!

-spence

What about......
 

a carved bass just below the top shelf. Surprise fishchick for xmas with it.

Come on LArry, paint it that orang/rust colored with the wonderbread spots....I dream about that color scheme

I think you should stain it..Its a shame to cover that wood

Its gonna be white...along with all the trim! :bgi:

Looks mint, good job. Thinking about doing one for mine but a little rustic.

Good job Bigfish
