I envy the woodstove.

Nice work. Clean lines & nice finish!
Heat bother it at all?

Nice job!

What makes this mantel so nice is that I don’t see just the mantel. It is mates perfectly with the stone and tile. There is no competition between the materials. It is an overall great look and design. The proportions are nice and everything is real clean.

Thanks for the comments!

No problems with heat so far. It’s a pretty good distance from the heat source and is finished with high grade conversion varnish which is pretty heat resistant.

I have to hand it to the homeowner with their choice and application of stone and tile. I helped with proportions, but they selected material style, color, etc. They made some really good design decisions that pull the whole hearth area together.

Nice work. Is that a natural finish on the cherry?
