Fireplace Surround

very nice work ! the color is equally well done

Beautiful job. Do you have any more pictures to show the detail? Maybe some construction photos?

Thankyou for the positive comments. To answer Scott, I do have pictures of this piece during the construction process but I’m not sure where to post them since I can only post 3 pics here.
any suggestions?

Try a blog. I have not created one, but most seem to have inline photos.

A lot of love went into this project. Terrific job.

Gregg, this is a beautiful surround. It would compliment any room’s decor. The raised panels give the piece a lot of visual interest. You did an excellent job on the finish as well. Poplar can be a challenge but it looks so much better with a natural finish on it as opposed to paint.

Well done!!

If you want to create a blog detailing the construction process here are the instructions on how to post pictures to one.

Hope it helps as I would find the construction blog to be an interesting post. I have one of these on my to-do list (a promised Christmas gift several years ago that I still occasionally hear about). I see some interesting ideas with this project.

Very impressive, Well done.

Superb! I too am in the process of building an entertainment
center around my fireplace. I see some things that you did that I
would like to incorporate into mine, if that`s ok.
Very nice job.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
