I was able to construct this mantle on Saturday before my lower back screamed for an ice pack. :(It is made of alder and will be stained with a rather putrid yellowish/brownish yuck stain and gel. I hope to have in installed on Wed. so I can get to more fun things.
The top is mitered with screw pockets on the under side. The entire thing is 83" long and 8" wide. I am through hand scraping it and just need to go over it with 220 and then the stain. Moldings were made on a Willams-Hussey molder. (wonderful machine!):)
About 5 hours in construction another 3 in staining/finishing.
