MAKING MANTELS

MAKING MANTELS
No woodworking project is more gratifying than making a beautiful fireplace mantel. Plentiful examples and plans cover a broad range of possibilities for the craftsperson to consider. This is aimed at both the professional and the home craftsman. Getts, a professional cabinetmaker and builder, covers essential information peculiar to mantel, fireproof materials, safety considerations, and building codes, as well as a whole host of style elements.
