Walnut Fireplace Mantel

This contemporary fireplace mantel is made from walnut, which was veneered over a plywood substrate to help control wood movement at the mitered corners. It is mitered on all sides, so no end grain shows, giving it a modern, contemporary feel. It is attached to the wall with a French cleat. It fits perfectly in its new home in a Broadmoor Colorado Neighborhood. It is a simple, elegant floating shelf solution to add a modern look to a fireplace.
