Lakeside Ceramic Fireplace

By troypots, member

This fireplace was designed, constructed and installed by homeowners Chris & Tom Troy to echo the views of water and trees seen from their screened porch.  More than 1200 lbs. of clay were hand formed into this fireplace facade that measures 10′ X 5.5′ with a tree that is 12″ in diameter.
