I thought you might like to see what we put in our fireplaces.

I burn a lot of maple in my fireplace, but it doesn't look like that!

That was my thought - could he get both wings out of that piece.

I can, actually. And I'm going to go ahead and cut a bottom wing, too. Just what I need to help my indecision... more options!

We were, but then our Granddaughter was born and we used that as an excuse to take a break from planning - almost 2 years ago now.

Try planning a whole house.

Not to derail this thread or anything but maybe we'll stick with restoring an old Rickenbacker bass.

Fine! You big babies!!!

Here's a bone I can toss you - the rough cut of top wing #1. Refinement & contours to follow.

This is the 'B' option for the top wing - different plank:

I think I like plan B, actually.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 11:44 pm**

Doesn't Plan B have a seam in the wood? I think Plan A would match the old bottom wing better.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 11:49 pm**

Where's the seam?

"Seam?"
