Cabin by the Lake Fireplace mantle

By rybitt, member

This Cabin was missing one thing, a Great fireplace. I framed and built the new space for the fireplace and bench seat. Then the fireplace was installed and the new VGFir Mantle set in place. I used 6″ x 6″ posts for the legs and 3″ x 12″ for the Korbels. the header was built by combining a 4″x 8″ and a 6″ x 10″.
