This
week we are finishing up the fireplace construction. After this we
just need to do some decorating and accessorizing of it.
So
for the mantle you have some choices I wanted a wood mantle so I used
a piece of 1/8” plywood from the craft store. I added some strips
of ½” strip wood to give it a bit more body and cover up the top
of the fireplace body. I think it looks nice.
I
show you how to use craft paint as a wood stain but you have
unlimited choices for finishing the wood. Real wood stain or the all
in one finishes sold in the paint department of the hardware store
would be great too.
The
plywood piece I started with was 6” by 12” I just cut to 4 ½”
by 12” to look more in scale with the rest of the fireplace.
I
hope you enjoyed this project. Next week we will be making a “fire”
for the fireplace and maybe something else (depends on how my week
goes LOL)
Also
a slight programming note, I am going to move the tutorials on this
channel to go up on Tuesday starting this week. In the past I tried
to have them up on Monday but I have added another video to one of my
other channels and Monday worked better for it. I am going to strive
in the new year to be more consistent in getting the tutorials up
every week. Also I am hoping to post some kind of blog on Friday of
most weeks so be sure to subscribe to my Blog for that (or follow me
on Facebook for more info)
