Hi RMaxa
see below, that's what neat about the clock plans you get the full size plans and a HOW TO web site to give you all the help you will need to make it

step by step that's hard to beat.

but you must read just a bit ( " I had calculated 11.0408 square feet" )

From the web page ▼
"I have ordered from Steve Wall Lumber (
http://www.walllumber.com) before so I was pretty sure that what I ordered would be great walnut, and it would be ready to use. They sell "UPS packs" in 5 square feet, so I figured, 3 packs* (15 square feet at $16.25 a pack) will cover my needs — I had calculated 11.0408 square feet. This will give me some room for error and will allow me some selection based on grain patterns."

To make it fit your mantel just remove 1" to 1 1/2" from the plans or what every you need it to be.
NOTE****the cut list is a real hard because you are not using a 4' x 8' plywood.
