				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!

				 | 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.
