here it is laid out in the floor  :) keep in mind it is still rough cut and nothing sanded or fitted  :) the mantel itself is still chainsaw cut :D but i dont have the exact measurements so i can make the final cut 

  

  

 
i will get some more pics when i get it stained and another after it is installed :)

a few things i have learned from this  1 i need a smaller chainsaw the 441 with 24" bar is a little much for woodworking ;D  2 when building christmas gifts of this size start before december 14 :o ::) 3 your wife can get you into more trouble than you can ever get in by yourself ;D :D :D :D 
this is my MIL christmas gift :christmas:

Very nice work!!     I have been thinking of something similar for my fireplace but have some concerns. 
I use a wood stove insert, and hot hot air rises off the front of the stove. So, my concern is about severe warpage of a wood mantle.
have others experienced this problem?
