A new fireplace for our house

This week has been very busy with the Pittsville School Christmas Bazaar on Friday and lots of projects including wardrobes, custom wall shelves, a built-in cupboard on a narrow board and even repairing wobbly fence posts but the high light of the week was most definitely a job a did for our house. We have recently had a wood burner fitted so to finish the job off I have built a solid oak mantlepiece with hand cut corbels. Whilst this is the first one I have made it is very similar to many of the custom shelves I have made in the past.  The wood came from an old oak beam I picked up recently from a little old Costwolds cottage in Ampney Crucis, it had been removed and left in the back garden, luckily the builders didn’t want it and let me have it for nothing.  

There has already been lot of interest and I have taken one order already.  If you think you want one of these get in quick whilst I still have some of the beam left
