Neighbor dropped some wood of in my shop about a week ago... sure surprised me when I opened up the shop and saw 3 sticks of Spalted Birch laying on the shop floor -- thought the WW'ing leprechaun's had left me some goodies.
Talked to him the next day and found out that he wanted a mantle built for a small 'display wall' in their woodstove/fireplace store.
He had all the info as far as measurements go so it was pretty easy to knock out. Rabbets (top and bottom) on the front and side pieces, mitered corners to keep the grain 'moving' around the corners.
The display wall is supposed to be finished late this week so I'm going to stop by there next week and get a picture or two of it up on the wall.
Wood: Spalted Birch
Finish: Deft Lacquer Sanding Sealer and 6 coats of Deft 'Brush On' Lacquer.
Thanks for looking.
