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!

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!

Thumbs up

Now there's a digression for ya! 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.
