Custom Mantle in Walnut

Jake Maier · April 22, 2022 ·

walnut mantle

This custom mantle was built from mill-sawn 4/4 walnut boards, sourced through our local supplier, and surfaced in our shop. I love to use rough lumber from the mill as you never know quite how each piece will look until it is surfaced down to S4S lumber. This batch included some really great pieces of wood with lots of character! The finish coat is a resin-modified tung oil over bare walnut sanded to 220 grit. … [Read more...] about Custom Mantle in Walnut

Walnut Mantle with Custom Heat Shield

Jake Maier · March 11, 2021 ·

We fabricate and sell custom heat shields for existing mantles and fireplace shelves. We can also design & build custom mantles and above fireplace shelving. For more information and to place an online order click Here The walnut mantle with custom heat shield was a project for a customer we have done multiple projects for. The homeowners were having an issue with the heat rising off of the gas fireplace and overheating their Sonos sound bar. They wanted a sleek minimalist look, functional, and they wanted it to contrast with the white oak floating shelves we built for them in the adjacent alcove. This is what we came up with and it was definitely a winner! For the heat shield we cut a piece of steel and bent it at a slight angle about one inch from the end; this is to deflect the heat away from the mantle. Then we cut one inch steel tube into one inch standoffs, coated the metal with a high temp paint and attached it to the bottom with screws countersunk into the … [Read more...] about Walnut Mantle with Custom Heat Shield

Building Box Mantels and Floating Shelves

Jake Maier · August 16, 2020 ·

Floating shelves and box mantles are popular items that are commonly requested by customers. Many newer homes have existing drywall alcoves with no shelving and a basic mantle, or no mantel at all above the fireplace. Box mantels and floating shelves can dress up a space and add real estate value. They can be finished with either paint or stain. Material Selection and Tools A great product always starts with great material! It's more difficult to make something nice out of material that is warped, bowed, or defected in some way. With the exception of reclaimed projects, which we will approach differently, we hand-pick the pieces of lumber we will be using to build each project. For this project, the customer had requested Pine. We were able to find very straight, nice 8' lengths of #2 Pine at our local lumber store, and this was a great start to the box mantel and floating shelf project! Tools, Processes & Systems Once the material is back at the shop, it's time … [Read more...] about Building Box Mantels and Floating Shelves
