just recently finished this mantle for a customer. thought i would throw up a pic and see what you guys thought. it from my cell phone so quality of the pic isnt the best.

I like the sides. Looks like ball milled. :thumbsup:

Do you stain it or is that up to the cust? The bottom right looks like its missing but I think it a shawdo? Id pay money for it.

normally i stain and finish it. this one was paint grade so after i installed it the painter came in. but he forgot to wipe the dust off it created by the guys cutting the brick and just painter over it. now he gets to sand it off and try again.
