Picture of my Jotul 550 insert and woodbox

First attempt at posting a picture. Hope it works. First year burning. My Dad and I made the wood-box out of cherry plywood. Thanks to all for help this year. Eric

Wow, looks nice! Clean install on the insert and beautiful cherry box!

Good job, looks great. I really like the cherry wood box also.

Your insert looks great. I love how all of the colors complement each other.

Your wood box looks like the grandpa to the one my son made last year. (His first wood working project - age 11) Ours is plywood and 'lives' outside and is much smaller. Holds kindling. No room inside for a nice one like yours.

If things start to get dry in your living room you might stick a crock of water on your hearth to add moisture to your inside air. ;-)

Great job . . . love the stone work.

Thanks guys and gals. I didn't do the stone work - only picked the stone when we built the house in 1999. My wife choose the 2 tone paint job, which is more dramatic when looking at the room in its whole (2 stories tall). The house is no dryer this year with the wood the previous years only burning oil (which suprises me).

Very nice Roxbury, I too like the box idea.

very nice and clean looking, i really like the stone work. real i assume?

 

[Roxburyeric]

Yes the stone work is all real stone from the property. It sticks out about 5 to 6 inches from the wall. The fireplace opening has a nice arch in it with a large diamond shaped key stone, which unfortunetly is covered (the arch) by the surround panels.

I love the flush look! So many wood inserts look like someone cut the legs off of a free standing stove and got it stuck half way in. Yours looks nothing like a retrofit. Very nice.

Beautiful job eric very tastefully done, I do a lot of work in the roxbury/washington area as a matter of fact i was up there today on hemlock rd and will be tomorrow as well. The stonework is very nice (as is the insert and box as well), who did the stone work for you?
