Faux Mantle beam (real cedar)
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
This is my attempt at this design to replace out existing mantle.It measures 5 deep and 8 from wallI finished it with Enduro VAR and used clear method to hang on wall using a 2×4
You can see some of my assembly pictures of how I mitred the beam together ( used some saw dust on some small cracks so the final bean has no seams)
