Описание: check out these shirts we designed - https://stickfigureclothing.etsy.com If you're looking for a stunning, rustic addition to your fireplace, a floating live edge slab mantel might be just what you need. In this step-by-step woodworking tutorial, you'll learn how to create your own live edge slab mantel that appears to float effortlessly above your fireplace.

To start, you'll need to choose your slab of wood. This is where the beauty of a live edge slab comes in, as the natural edge of the wood adds character and interest to your mantel. You can use a variety of woods, but hardwoods like oak, maple, and cherry are popular choices. Once you have your slab, you'll need to cut it to size and sand it to smooth out any rough edges.

Next, you'll create the hardware that will allow your mantel to float. This involves drilling holes into the back of the mantel and attaching metal rods that will be inserted into the wall. You'll also need to create wooden brackets that attach to the rods and support the weight of the mantel.

Once your hardware is in place, it's time to install your mantel. This can be a bit tricky, as you'll need to make sure the metal rods are level and secure in the wall. However, with some patience and careful measuring, you'll be able to install your mantel and step back to admire your handiwork.

A floating live edge slab mantel is a beautiful, unique addition to any home. With this woodworking tutorial, you'll be able to create your own mantel and add warmth and charm to your living space.
