Building a Fireplace Mantel from Scrap Wood

Описание: I built this mantel to surround a faux fireplace insert that was framed into a living room wall. The project was very simple and constructed from on-hand scrap wood. The mantel measures 44 inches tall from the bottom of the hearth to the top shelf. The top shelf is 54 inches long and constructed from a 2x8 piece of pine with 1 inch pine on top. The hearth is constructed from 2 2x10 pieces of pine sandwiched between a 2x4 to give a total thickness of 8 inches in order to be used as a seat. The legs are constructed similar to the mantel and top shelf, 2x6 pine with 1 inch pine over the top for decoration.

The project was attached to the wall using lag screws through the thicker pine before the decorative pine boards were attached. All of the pine was stained with minwax dark walnut stain.

Airstone veneer was used to decorate between the fireplace box and the mantel. Link: http://low.es/1WcCPlA
