Custom Mantle In Antique Cypress
This mantle was added to a turn-of-the-century Victorian home that had a substantial amount of cypress trim on the first floor. The Canadian stone "Eramosa" was used for the hearthstone and the tile. I designed the tile pattern to use two levels of finish (honed and flamed) to create a subtle harlequin pattern only visible when the stone is viewed from particular angles. The firebox is a Rumford (17th century) design and was extremely heat efficient. The woodwork is all framed and paneled like a piece of furniture as well as the panels being book-matched. It was intended that the mantle would appear to be "original" to the century old building.

Custom design and fabrication of anything in wood. The difficult is our bread and butter. The impossible is fun. I am trained in classical solid wood techniques, making furniture, but as I like to tell my clients: If you can dream it, describe it or draw it, I can make it for you, I work in many styles, chosen to suit my clients, not to suit me,
