Fireplace Mantels
Above: Solid black walnut, Country French style, Rancho Santa Fe, CA
Over the years I have designed and built many mantels of every size, shape, and style you can imagine, from a very simple rustic beam to very complex carvings, and out of a vast array of woods.
Mantels, like entryways, give a great opportunity to express the client's style of design. Mantels bring life and warmth to any room that needs that special touch or focal point.
I regret that I don't have pictures of many of the mantels I have made, sometimes because the job site was still under construction when I installed the mantel, sometimes the mantel got shipped to another state, and sometimes I just forgot to take the pictures. Regardless of that, I do have a large variety of mantels to display on this blog and you can also see them on my website under "Built-Ins" in the middle of page three.
