Evening SMC'ers,
I'm making a mantle out of walnut for my brother's brick fireplace. The mantle is essentially a large slab of walnut that will sit upon a brick shelf support.
What would be the best way to attach the walnut to the brick? I was thinking some type of construction adhesive. Note that the walnut slab will be relatively flat, whereas the brick area it will lay upon will not be perfectly flat, so it would be desirable to use some type of adhesive that would fill in the gaps between the two.
Thanks
Bart
