The fireplace tile and mantel are finally completed. The fireplace is on the opposite wall from the room divider in my first project post. I again used quarter-sawn red oak and the same finishing technique described in the first project. I included a before photo showing the oakley stone veneer that came with the house. As you might imagine, the demo was a major part of this project.

Yes it is a significant improvement over the former and a job well done I might add. I like the contrast between the tile and the color of the finish. They compliment each other very much. The screen adds the finishing touch. I think everything fits together perfect!

The greatest part is that I didn’t realized it was covering the existing one, that’s a well executed job.

A beautiful job- very faithful to the arts & crafts style. That kind of sweat equity will really pay off! I never see quarter-sawn red oak around here- just the white oak. Did you special order it?

Good choice for red oak, how is the “grille insert” made, is it scroll sawed from a pattern and is it oak also?
Thanks
Michael
