Just got around to taking pictures of a customers job I finished a month
ago. You guys helped me on some staining questions of the mantel and I
said I would post pictures of it when completed. The link below will get
you to a few pictures of the project including the mantel.
Comments and questions welcome.

Now that I'm over my jealousy, a few questions...
- What techniques did you use to make the crown/cove, or was it bought?
I love how sharp it gets.
- How did you decide on the angle of the two inner stiles on the upper
panels. They are attractive... I'm just curious if it was completely
improvised or was there a method to the madness.
- In the arched rail, I can't tell if those perpendicular lines are
grain or inflections. Is the rail veneer, cut from a really wide board,
or (gasp!) steam bent?
