This was done for a client around a year ago (Fall of 2008). When they cleared their land for an addition, they had all the oak trees they cut down milled into 5/4 slabs and wanted the surround made from this material - no other woodworker they talked to was willing to use rough lumber - to...

Over the years I have built quite a number of Fireplace Surrounds. These photo's represent my favorites. The very first one I shipped to NJ and it has always been my favorite. You can probably make out 2 sets of columns. In fact there is 2 half sets that are split and attached to the surround...

Well, it has been a while since I posted last, but I have been going full speed on our new house remodel. My wife wanted a fireplace mantel done in a shaker style, so here it is

When I reached a stage in my apprenticeship where "case" products were my specialty, I began the task of turning my house into a home by taking advantage of my skills as a furniture maker. The task of installing an array of custom pieces including an oak fireplace surround, a home theater, a...

My wife decided she wanted a fireplace surround with mantel, so I decided to give it a try myself. This is only my second build ever and first surround/mantel. It turned out pretty good. I did this one in Poplar, Kilzed, and painted white. I added crown mold for some of the decorative trim. I...

One of my projects was replacing the floating mantel that the builder installed with a nicer fireplace surround

After many year of looking at the builders fireplace surround, my wife convinced me to build a new one. I also had an efficient gas fire box put it. I ran a switched electrical outlet on one end so my wife could light up her decorations. It turned out pretty good. In some of the pictures you can...

I have posted only projects dealing with turning up till now, but my wife said it was time to do the fireplace surround and encase the large opening that goes between our family room and the kitchen - two projects which have been on my "Honey-Do List" for the past several years. I'll be glad to...

This was a different sort of project for me. Despite what I tend to post on this forum, I'm mostly a box maker (check out my website wooden box maker" if you're interested). This time a customer wanted a fireplace mantle. How could I refuse? Glad I didn't, I had fun making it. Maybe I'll replace...

This is a project for some clients. They live in the historic district in Billings, MT. They have a beautiful old home built in the late 1920's so it has a very Arts & Crafts feel. The old fireplace had an ancient gas burner and the clients purchased a new gas insert fireplace. The overall...

I made this fireplace surround out of oak and oak ply. Was my first project using so many bevels. The only thing I didn't like, was the laquer finish that I applied. Laqer was hard to use. Will probably go back to the standby, poly. (until I can get a spray booth!)

FIREPLACE SURROUND AND BUILT-IN NICHE

So I've just about completed my first major woodworking project and thought I would share some pictures. The house we're in now has a fireplace in the living room, but it was ugly. There's a brick hearth, but the fireplace itself is surrounded by tile and there is no mantel (a fireplace is...
