A very traditional corner in a very fine, traditional school. This tight vertical grain Douglas Fir mantle is supported with substantial corbels and the house motto of the boy's residence carved into the friese board. This design was part of a renovation in keeping with the traditional style of the existing architecture.

Beside the Cowichan River in an elegant addition to Sir James Douglas' original fishing lodge.  This robust alder timber mantle houses a Valor gas fireplace.

Truly finished the way it was done a hundred years ago, revealing all the beautiful grain of the quartersawn white oak. No stains or dyes used.

Classic, warm and inviting. Jotul gas stove.

Cabinet mantles are used when the wall behind the gas fireplace stays intact. The cabinet performs the same job as a recessed wall, allowing finished room to accommodate the fireplace. This is a dark stain on alder.

Truly Arts and Crafts in every way. From the choice of cherry in its natural colour, to the shape and joining techniques in this “dropped” mantle shelf.
