My next flat project is likely a new Mantle "Capper" for the very large fireplace in our great room. It currently sports one make of rough barn wood, which while it matches the room fine with the barn beams, etc., is very hard to keep clean, etc. I've included a picture of things as they are now (Those barn wood cabinets/shelves will be "going" at some point, too.) and a SketchUp! rendering of what I'm thinking about at present for the new cherry version. Simple, but with nice details like the hand cut dovetails at the corners. I put a few dimensions on the thing so you can see the scale of the fireplace. Comments are welcome.
