Mantle is Made from reclaimed lumber (Oak) from an early 1900's barn. Mostly quartersawn oak, a few worm holes and square cut nail holes. Stained with two coats of golden oak and I used three coats of rub on poly satin. Painted the brick same color as trim in the room.

That's purty!
Nice score on the barn oak. I like seeing the old wood put to good use.
I like how you used the post on the left as a chase for the 'lectricity for your blower.
Peace,

Yes, I have made many items with the wood. Made vanities and cabinets for our bathrooms, 5-board benches, saddle seats and band saw boxes just to name a few things. What I like about the wood is uniqueness of some boards with their square holes from the nails that was once in the board.
Working on stair railing now in the same room as the mantle.
