Custom Colonial Fireplace Mantel
This was a colonial fireplace mantel I designed for a customer who converted there wood burning fireplace mantle to a gas log unit. The client selected the design from a book of mantle designs. I then created construction drawing to fit the fireplace opening. Each element of the mantle was designed with pocket hole on the back side of each board. I then simply screwed the parts together at the site and anchored the unit to the wall. The unit was then painted and the tile installed between the firebox and the wooden mantle. The price for this listing is only for the painted Mantle and the side legs. If you want this design, I would create a drawing for your fireplace and then build you project. The mantle would be delivered to you in three sections, that you could screw together from the back side. I can deliver unpainted or paint for an additional fee.

As a one man shop, my design process starts with the concept for the piece I am planning. I create sketches, drawings, and 3D models to capture the details of the design. On contract projects, I meet with the customer to make sure that they are seeing the features that make sense to them. Next, I select the raw material, usually starting with raw lumber. Then I begin the construction of the piece. After the assembly is complete, I finish the work to match the customer's wishes.
