It worked!

Cool it worked.....I'm waiting on the custom pewter finished surround to come in so I can install it and be done. These are hand made tile that are fired here on Long Island. Each one is a different size and shape there are no two exact tiles. The mantle I fabricated after the one my customer ordered through a local lumber yard started to fall apart before I could even get it out of the package.

Nice looking stuff.

What was your role in all of that?

Great work!

What material is the hearth made of?

Thank you for all the compliments!
Gus- I did everything but the actual cutting of the hearth material, but I did template for it myself. I removed the old mantle, adressed the old brick facia, ran a little electric, spackled and patched a few spots, built the mantle and base, installed the hearth, installed the tile, and sprayed the woodwork. But not all in one day.
A.W.davis- The hearth material is just a simple Blue Stone with thermal texture applied.
