Needham Surround

This fireplace surround is part of a wall unit I did recently. The plan was to mount a flat panel TV as part of the upper surround , but because of the brick the TV mount would've placed the tv to far from the surround taking away from the mantel. So plan B was put into effect and a series of 3 raised panels would replace the TV.

Stereo components, speakers, and DVD's will fill some of the shelves. A new 42" LCD TV will sit above the mantle. Melissa is handling the painting duties can't wait to see the finish product.

This is a replica of a mantel my customer had in their previous house, Kathy asked me to come as close as possible to the original design, she provided a couple of pictures that I worked from. I made this from poplar and will be finished in white paint by Kathy's husband.

Tina's Mantel Shelf


I was contacted through my website to build this fireplace mantel shelf. I met with Tina, took measurments and discussed design. She wanted something simple to finish off this beautiful stone fireplace and provided an image from the web of the style she preferred. The uneveness of the stones made for a challenging install but in the end I was happy with the finished product and hope Tina & Mark are happy too.

This is a mantel I built for a customer out of poplar to go along with two built-ins. A couple of designs were discussed before settling on this style with raised panels to match the raised panels of the built-in. I was supplied with a drawing. I worked out the mantel dimensions then headed to my work shop where the saw dust started flying. I love the design and this was a challenge to build incorporating different woodworking techniques.
